This is a request to add Fulah wordlist/dictionary to Firefox OS. Locale in Africa are a priority, will update here once we get more specific info. thanks! Plugging in Ibrahima and Kevin so they may help out with this (amongst others)

Thanks. I have a wordlist of more than 36,000 words covering many dialects. Adding another dialect and will post here this weekend hopefully.

Hey Ibrahima! Any updates on this please? :D thanks a bunch!

Hi Delphine I have been working on a word list and it's probably quite clean now. Should I attach it here or send it to Kevin Scannel§

Attaching Ibrahima's word list, with frequency data taken from a web corpus with about 2M words (a good bit of that material, not surprisingly, from Ibrahima's web site).

Wow! I'm speechless. Thanks a million.

A second version, having filtered out some French words that made their way in.

Awesome, Kevin. Simply awesome... Thumbs!

Thanks so much you guys! Not sure how to go forwards to implement this anymore.... ni on Bruce so he can maybe help on this part.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: Also, Fulah committed to on 2.0 for partner. ni on :bajaj to get this on her radar :)

Hi Just back from Mobile World Congress. Sorry then about not responding earlier. Need some guidance on how I can test this. Cheers

Comment on attachment 8571793 [details] [gaia] RudyLu:keyboard/Bug1132778-Fulah_dictionary > mozilla-b2g:master I really don't know what to do here. Any suggestion?

Ibrahima, Hi, sorry for not replying this in a timely Do you have a device or b2g desktop to try this out? If yes, please refer to the following doc to test the newly added keyboard layout and dictionary. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developing_Gaia/Customizing_the_keyboard#Including_a_custom_layout_in_the_Gaia_keyboard_app In brief, 1. Please help make sure you could build Gaia at your side. 2. add ff layout/dictionary GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS=en,ff make install-gaia 3. Test this on device Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Will try this today. Thanks

I don't seem to know how to add the wordlist to gaia. Please help. I am not very good at Gigthub!!

It would be very easy if you already installed "hub", hub checkout https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/28588 Please refer to this for how to install this handy tool, https://hub.github.com/ Thanks.

Hi Ibrahima, have you tried it yet? Thanks.

Hi No, I don't know how to add the wordlist. I need help or some tutorial. The keyboard is there but no wordlist. Thanks

Hi Ibrahima, If you can help, please try the following steps, 1. Get the dict file from the following link and put into your Gaia folder, apps/keyboard/js/imes/latin/dictionaries https://github.com/RudyLu/gaia/blob/keyboard/Bug1132778-Fulah_dictionary/apps/keyboard/js/imes/latin/dictionaries/ff.dict 2. Modify ff.js as this, https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/28588/files#diff-a57678090663f2c6a8fc73a2930f998e 3. do |make install-gaia|, to see if your device could load the ff dictionary. Thanks.

Thank you very much I have a few questions: - How do I access folders in Gaia? On the computer I cannot see them. - The ff.js files say id=fr, is that normal? We're just a few steps away, I have time to test today if it works.

1. Please start from this doc if you want to build Gaia yourself, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developing_Gaia/Running_the_Gaia_codebase 2. There is no such line "id=fr" in ff.js. If you saw this from the pull request, it is from the diff view and "id=fr" belongs to the code section below and should be correct. Thanks for asking!

Hey Arky: seems like Ibrahima is having some trouble to test this. Would you mind helping out if Ibrahima still faces difficulties, maybe by trying this out and taking a look yourself? Wish I could but I honestly won't be of any help here. thanks :)

I was able to test the pull request (https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/28588) on Firefox OS device. Typed the phrase 'Innama aadeeji fof poti, ndimɗidi e jibinannde to bannge hakkeeji. Eɓe ngoodi miijo e hakkilantaagal ete eɓe poti huufo ndirde e nder ɓ iynguyummaagu. (Source: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/fula.htm) into the messaging app. The autocorrect system correctly suggested autocomplete for following words 'aadeede', 'hakkeeji', 'bannge. There are no visible errors on 'adb logcat'.

Comment on attachment 8571793 [details] [gaia] RudyLu:keyboard/Bug1132778-Fulah_dictionary > mozilla-b2g:master [Approval Request Comment] [Bug caused by] (feature/regressing bug #): Feature [User impact] if declined: No autocorrection for Fulah (ff) keyboard layout. [Testing completed]: Yes, manually. [Risk to taking this patch] (and alternatives if risky): Low, layout/dictionary would not be built unless explicitly set for each branch. [String changes made]: N/A

This would need specific patches for each branch since the build integration test for keyboard is different on each branch.
