Universal Language Selector/sv

Tillägget Universell språkväljare (ULS, Universal Language Selsector) erbjuder ett flexibelt sätt att konfigurera och leverera språkinställningar som gränssnittsspråk, typsnitt och inmatningsmetoder (tangentbordsuppsättningar). Detta möjliggör för användare att skriva text på olika språk som inte direkt stöds av deras tangentbord, läsa innehåll på skriftspråk vars typsnitt inte är tillgängligt lokalt eller anpassa språket som menyer visas på.

Funktionaliteten tillhandahölls delvis av tilläggen och  på vissa wikier. ULS ersätter dessa tillägg och kommer finnas tillgänglig på alla Wikimedias projekt för alla användare (inloggade och anonyma). Specifika detaljer om fler wikier kommer senare.

De tillhandahållna funktionerna listas här nedanför:


 * Language settings panel. Main entry point to configure language tools. It can be accessed from the interlanguage list on the sidebar, or at the personal toolbar for wikis lacking interlanguage links.
 * User interface (UI) language adjustments. Users can change the language in which the UI is provided regardless of the content language. At the moment, UI customization is provided only for logged-in users.
 * Font selection. Web fonts are provided for non-latin scripts so that users can display content in those languages without installing local fonts. Users can select alternative fonts or decide to use their local fonts if they are available.
 * Input method configuration. Users lacking a keyboard for a particular script can still write in that script by using input mappings. Hindi users with a QWERTY keyboard can write “प” by typing “pa” when Hindi input method is enabled.
 * Input method contextual menu. Options for switching between languages and keyboard mappings are provided next to each active input element. Users can easily combine English, International Phonetic Alphabet and Russian when writing about Moscow on English Wikipedia: “Moscow (/ˈmɒskaʊ/ or /ˈmɒskoʊ/; Russian: Москва, tr. Moskva; IPA: [mɐˈskva]) is the capital city and the most populous federal subject of Russia.”
