Type Unicode Nepali in Browser

Unicode नेपाली मा type गर्ने तरिका

I love to express my feelings in Nepali, well unicode nepali to be exact :P. However, my limited capabilities to type in Nepali prevents me to do so. Plus, lets face it, I am little lazy to type in Unicode... as I generally do blog hoppin (read fast and jump into another).

However, typing in Unicode Nepali is made easy by the following code:

javascript:(t13nb=window.t13nb||function(l){var t=t13nb,d=document,o=d.body,c="createElement",a="appendChild",w="clientWidth",i=d[c]("span"),s=i.style,x=o[a](d[c]("script"));if(o){if(!t.l){t.l=x.id="t13ns";o[a](i).id="t13n";i.innerHTML="Loading Transliteration";s.cssText="z-index:99;font-size:18px;background:#FFF1A8;top:0";s.position=d.all?"absolute":"fixed";s.left=((o[w]-i[w])/2)+"px";x.src="http://t13n.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/blet/rt13n.js?l="+l}}else setTimeout(t,500)})('hi')

Firefox plugin for Devanagarik Nepali Script

There are few options for typing in Nepali Unicode (for mac) that I am aware of
1.  First one: Use Google's compose mode with  transliteration. Most of the time, it is easy to use.

2. Then there is Firefox extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nepali-%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%B2-input-extension/ (the weird characters in the link is due to the use of नपल word in the address)

It also comes with the keyboard layout.

Few experiments for ease of use:

If I wanted write:

 ठ्याक्कै  प्रसंसा
I had to press the following in the keyboard with the firefox add on (had to look into the layout) :

Q/yak/kE p/rsMsa

When typed with transliteration on in Gmail:

ठ्याक्कै प्रसंसा
could be written by just typing:
Thyaakkai prasansaa 

Semi-Conclusion:

Using the firefox addon is not so convenient... :(
tai pani aafnai ghar ko tihun mitho bhane jhai, I will give it a shot. I will try it.




Finally,
Inspired by:
http://dacharya.blogspot.com/2011/09/firefox-addon.html, I installed the Nepali Dictionary by prasansa (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nepali-dictionary/). The firefox add on helps to correct the typos.
