Hi all,

I thought a script that would perform transliteration would be quite handy. It could be used to enter text in other languages whose layout keybards are not supported or lousy/inconvenient.
For those who don't understand transliteration, it is basically replacing an entered text with another letter (usually phonetical equivalent) in another language. For example, I could type "t", it catches the entered text event, replaces and sends U+1090 (Cyrillic small letter t).

Can anyone develop a script that performs transliteration in text edit areas?
(Jeez, am I dreaming or what )

I've never written scripts, but I am familiar with a few programming languages, including Java. I think picking up scripting for Windows Live! Messenger or Messenger Plus! Live should not be a big problem.
But I would be grateful if anyone could to provide some guidelines, such as which classes/external .dll's have the functionality required to implement it? Possible logical structure of script?

It may be a dream, but a very easy one to fulfill. Assuming the correct event exists in the scripting API, it'll simply be a case of catching one letter and printing another.

Well you can use OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown... so that wouldn't be a problem...
As for a start with script I would suggest reading the scripting documentation
