I second the complaint on Serbian-Bosnian guessing mistakes.

I just uploaded version 2 of this widget. The only differences are 1) fixed Opera 9.5 issue and 2) version check. I plan to release an improved version soon based on the comments here, so the version check might come in handy... (the widget will inform you that a new version is available on start up.)

Hey bro serbian, croatian, and "bosnian" languages are 99,9% same, in bosnian and croatian there is sometimes j or ij before letter e, in croatian there is also some words different then serbian and bosnian, and "bosnian" is mixture of 70% serbian and 30% croatian... (not exact i said aprox.)... When I enter text vriten in serbian eg krava daje mleko a mleko je belo (cow givs milk and milk is white) there is no doubt, this is Serbian language on Bosnian this should be written: krava daje mlijeko a mlijeko je bijelo.
In serbian langugage there is Cyrillic and Latin and you can seperate Serbian language from croatian on this way: pevati (latin) = певати (cyrillic)
that means p = п ; e = е ; v = в ; a = а ; t = т ; i = и . in word pevati, and pevati is serbian language, croatian or bosnian should be pjevati...
i think there is possability to separate serbian from other similar languages on this way:
LJ lj = Љ љ
NJ nј = Њ њ
E e = Е е
R r = П р
T t = Т т
Z z = З з
U u = У у
I i = И и
O o = О о
P p = П п
A a = А а
S s = С с
D d = Д д
F f = Ф ф
G g = Г г
H h = Х х
J j = Ј ј
K k = К к
L l = Л л
DŽ dž = Џ џ
C c = Ц ц
V v = В в
B b = Б б
N n = Н н
M m = М м
Ž ž = Ж ж

Josivis: Yes, I could add Afrikaans to the next version, if there's enough interest... It ought to be quite a challenge to distinguish from Dutch.

By hefa , # Aug 1, 2007 9:43:56 AM

Can you please add Afrikans to the languages?

preppyjock: The widget actually detects written Cantonese (and distinguishes it from written Mandarin). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_Cantonese for information on written Cantonese.

Cantonese is a Chinese dialect, it is not a "written" language. you should use the word "Chinese" instead of "cantonese."

残念ですが、言語に構わずテキストが無事に入れるなど、当り前なので驚きません。
実際、私自身が日本語、韓国語など混じった環境を使っていますのでそう考えていますが、
確かに文字が化ける環境下を考えると、とても便利なツールだとは思います。
Unicodeベースで動く環境なら問題ないのではないでしょうか？

ちなみに私はUbuntuとSUSEとFedoraをそれぞれ使っています。

"croatian, serbian and bosnian are almost the same language"
You won't make many friends down there with that statement...

'Croatian' is using latin characters, 'Serbian' is using cyrillic letters, 'Bosnian' is still very vivid, at least as grammar and thesaurus is concerned, influenced also by 'Albanian', AFAIK...

'Serbian' with latin characters was an artificial language called 'SerboCroatian', promoted by former Jugoslavian president Tito in order to better unite the Jugoslavian 'nation', but has never been accepted completely by those extremely nationalist former 'Jusgoslavians' i.e. those particularistic groupings of antagonizing folks...

croatian, serbian and bosnian are almost the same language. its something like english in america and english in australia.

shobra: ok, I'll include Serbian with latin letters in the next release, if I can find a good collection of texts.

By hefa , # Nov 28, 2006 5:39:24 AM

If you can't separate Serbian from Croatian and Bosnian, then atleast include Serbian in the posible results! When i enter Serbian text i allways get that it's Croatian, Bosnian, or even Slovenian. Never Serbian...
