ວິກິພີເດຍ:Lao Unicode Support

The easiest thing to see and the most hardest thing to do is to find the webpage that is in Lao language, in this country, Lao. You're right here! But, you don't see the language because you don't have Lao Unicode Support. Download Lao Unicode to see Lao language in this website. The below explain you what to do.

For foreigners : If you wish to see Lao language, you may take about 10 - 15 minutes or longer to do so. If you just wish to see the language then it might take more time than you wish.

[ດັດແກ້] Windows XP

[ດັດແກ້] First step : Download

You may see the notice already. Get it from that website. Just accept it. But remember, you can't type Lao any way, unless you already have the Lao Keyboard. This is for viewing Lao on this website. For the typing purpose see below.

[ດັດແກ້] Second step : Settings

Once you've download. Go to where you download it. For example, my one is in WinZip. I open it. Then, I choose :

"Start" -> "Control Panel" -> "Fonts"

Then another window come. Or maybe, you have :

"Start" -> "Settings" -> "Control Panel" -> "Fonts".

They are the same! If it's not like this, it has to be :

"Start" -> "Control Panel" -> "Appearance and Personalization" -> "Fonts"

Click on the document on WinZip. Then Copy it into the "Fonts" one. (By Copying/Pasting). Close this website. Open it again. Now you will see Lao language!

[ດັດແກ້] Last step : Typing Lao

You may use a keyboard service online here. Use the keyboard in "English" and then type it as it is Lao keyboard. Finally, click "Copy" and paste on this Wikipedia.

ສາມາດຂຽນພາສາລາວໄດ້ ຜ່ານທາງອິນເຕີເນັດ ທີ່ສາມາດຮຽກໃຊ້ໄດ້ທຶກເທື່ອ

There are other ways to type Lao in Windows XP (and below) by using LaoScript for Windows (Link) and Punlao Keyboard Layout (which is free, Link)

Punlao Keyboard Layout using Lao digits (just same as how Thai Keyboard Layout does in their language) while LaoScript for Windows and other Lao Keyboard Layout are using Roman digits.

[ດັດແກ້] Vista Support

You may be using Windows Vista - which already support Lao Unicode since Windows Vista is shipped with ”DokChamma“ font. To test that you're using Vista, check out the text below :

ຂໍຕ້ອນຮັບເຂົ້າສູ່ ວິກິພີເດຍ

If you can read it then you are fine and needless to install Lao font again. Only thing to do is to add Lao keyboard layout in the language bar.
