    Windows Keyboard Installer For Ghana Updated


    We started making country-specific binaries for Windows. A first example can be found at the project page on Google Code . This installer helps you to install keyboard layouts for 5 language clusters in Ghana. We are working on a single installer that will include all the language clusters we work with. The resultant Windows executable threatens to be very huge (more than 20MB), but we feel it is worth the trouble.

    Just recently we released a spellchecker for Akan for the Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice Suite based on the Akan dictionary. We started receiving feedbacks regarding how to make use of the extension. Its simple.
