Coffee Talk

I managed to write a rudimentary Amharic enabled chat client/server application. This was an experimental program I wrote to investigate how to programmatically process Ethiopic scripts. The chat client has the capability to accept user inputs via a graphic user interface and broadcast the message to all the chat clients that are connected to the server. My next step is to translate one of the more popular inter relay chat (IRC) clients into Amharic.

 

If there is anyone who is interested in developing an Amharic enabled software application (or has an idea for a project), please feel free to contact me.I will soon have something to download and use.

 

Here is the screen shot of the chat client. There are two users (yekolotemari and Meri-Geta). This is the view Meri_Geta would have.
