Greetings!<br>
<br>
I would like to offer a contribution to this library, <i>if ICU is
not already used</i>, for supporting Lao word-breaking.<br>
<br>
Lao is similar to Thai, in that spaces are used more like
punctuation, and not as separators between words. So, ICU
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://icu-project.org">http://icu-project.org</a>) fixes this by checking word-lists to find
the break points. Lao is soon to be supported as a result of the
project I am working with. I would like to contribute this code,
free of charge - obviously, to this library so that the Lao language
is fully supported in open source software. Maybe someone can help
me in getting it integrated?<br>
<br>
The code is available at: <b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/lao-dictionary/">http://code.google.com/p/lao-dictionary/</a><br>
<br>
</b>If this project needs the contribution licensed in another
manner, email me, and it's done. I am willing to open source it in
any license needed.<br>
<br>
Thank you all for your awesome work in such great software!<br>
<br>
If ICU is being used as a backend for doing internationalization, it
may not be needed to do this. Just let me know!<br>
