Hello All,
I've been following MacRumors for a while and I thought I register to post something I dearly wish the new iPhone and iOS 8 should have.
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
"Gujarati people or Gujaratis are an Indian ethnic group that is traditionally Gujarati-speaking. Famous Gujaratis include Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dhirubhai Ambani, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Virchand Gandhi, Narendra Modi and Vikram Sarabhai."
Total population of Gujaratis in the world: 60million. While majority of the 60 million are in India (obviously), there are nearly a quarter of a million in the US and over half a million of us living in the UK alone. Can we have Apple to install a Gujarati Keyboard along with the other Indian Languages that iOS 7 currently offers (Hindi, Malay and Tamil).
Of course there are third party apps currently available that offer a Gujarati typing facilities, but they are loaded with adverts, stand alone apps that are not user friendly with absolutely no bug support. It would be nice to have Apple put in their official version. I wouldn't mind enlisting myself as part of the team to develop the language for the iOS team, Tim!
iOS 8 I think will offer third party integration so hopefully it will be possible to have better , but i prefer the genuine apple stuff!
What are peoples thoughts? I'm sure there are plenty of Gujaratis around the world who think very similar to me?
Thanks!
