jQuery.IME is a jQuery based input method editor library supporting more than 220 input methods across more than 120 languages.

These input methods are well tested. Initially the input methods were contributed by the Wikimedia community. By now many input methods have also been contributed by Red Hat.

This project is a Wikimedia foundation initiative to provide language technology tools to a wider audience outside the Wikimedia universe.

This input tool is widely deployed in all Wikimedia projects (eg: wikipedia).

git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime.git

Load the necessary scripts:

<link href="../css/jquery.ime.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.ime.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.ime.selector.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.ime.preferences.js"></script>
<script src="../src/jquery.ime.inputmethods.js"></script>

To add input method support to all editable elements:

$( 'textarea, [contenteditable], input[type=text], input[type=search], input:not([type])' ).ime();

jquery.ime provides a jquery plugin function $.fn.ime() to add input method support for any editable elements in a page.

Instead of using the default language selector, you can roll your own:

$myDiv= $( '.foo' );
$myDiv.ime( { showSelector: false } );
ime = $myDiv.data( 'ime' );
$elements.on( 'imeLanguageChange', function () { ... } );
$elements.on( 'imeMethodChange', function () { ... } );

currentLanguageCode = ime.getLanguage();
currentLanguageName = ime.getAutonym( currentLanguageCode );
allLanguageCodes = ime.getLanguageCodes();
inputMethods = ime.getInputMethods( currentLanguageCode );
ime.setIM( inputMethods[ 0 ].id );

See examples/ced/ced.html for a more complete example.

-If you have python installed, run -bash python3 -m http.server -

Alternatively, many programming languages provide one liner commands to start a simple http static servers. You can use any one of them and, you can access examples from

http://localhost:8000/examples/index.html

Alternatively you can use tools like webfsd. If you know how to use advanced web servers like Apache or Nginx, you already know how to put the code in a webserver.

This input tool is also available as a browser extension:

• Firefox Extension | source code
• Chrome extension | (Unmaintained) | source code
