Universal Language Selector/nl

De extensie Universal Language Selector (ULS) zorgt voor een flexibele manier voor het instellen van taalinstellingen als interface-taal, fonts (lettertypen) en invoermethoden (sneltoetsen). Hiermee kunnen gebruikers in verschillende talen tekst invoeren die niet direct op hun toetsenbord voorkomt, de inhoud van een script lezen voor fonts die niet lokaal beschikbaar zijn of de taal aanpassen waarin de menu's worden getoond.

Deze functionaliteit was eerder deels op sommige wiki; s beschikbaar met de extensies en. ULS vervangt deze extensies en zal beschikbaar zijn op alle Wikimedia projecten voor alle gebruikers (ook de anonieme!).

De beschikbare functies zijn:


 * 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.”
