1. Little chooser window:
when Bulgarian language is selected chooser window is:
 , it should be
2. Keymapping: currently when Bulgarian language is
selected from the CDE login menu (Options | Language |
bg_BG.ISO8859-5 -- Bulgaria) and the chooser window is used to
change the language all letters that are typed are arranged
according to the Russian
Keyboard.
In Bulgaria there is a national standard (BDS) that defines how
letter should be arranged on the keyboard and that is
BDS 5237-78. I have created two sample
keyboard arrangements for you that follow the
BDS 5237-78 standard. The first uses as
base the US/UNIX Keyboard (taken from sunsolve.sun.com), the second
uses as base the US/Keyboard.
I have tested the
following keyboards with Solaris 10: US/UNIX (Type 6, both USB and
mini DIN-8) , US (Type
6, both USB and mini DIN-8), UK (Type 6 USB)
3. Names of months and dates: the
official document that defines how names of the months and the dates
are spelled is the
New
Orthographic Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language by the
Department of
Modern Bulgarian Language of the
Institute of the Bulgarian
Language at the
Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
Details:
New
Orthographic Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language, publisher: "Haizel",
Sofia, 2002, ISBN 954-8283-61-1
Here is the correct Bulgarian spelling:
note: names of the days and months
in Bulgarian are written with small letters (no first letter
capitalization)

Removing the Language Input
Mode Status Area Window
GNOME 2.x or JDS Desktop
The gconftool-2
utility can remove or restore
the language input window from all applications using GTK+.
Use it as demonstrated here:
- Removing the language
input window:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-status-style
-t string none
- Restoring the language
input window:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-status-style
-t string nothing
If you prefer to use the GUI,
then click on the "This Computer" icon on your JDS desktop
and select: Preferences » Desktop Preferences »
Input Methods to start
gnome-im-properties.
From here, uncheck the
Language Status
Window and
apply the change.
CDE/Motif Applications
The following use of the
-xrm
option will remove the language input window from all CDE/Motif
windows that use VendorShell (i.e., all CDE/Motif
applications). The -xrm
option should be given to applications directly or by
inserting the option correctly in the
.Xdefaults
or .OWdefaults
file. Specify the
preeditType
resource without any value, for instance:
- To remove the language
input window:
dtterm -xrm "*preeditType:"
For more details on the
preeditType
resource, refer to VendorShell(3X) man page.
For dtpad, the
-standAlone
option will have to accompany the command, if a
dtpad
server daemon is running on your system, which by the way,
is the default:
dtpad -xrm
"*preeditType:" -standAlone
|
