| Abstract | In this paper, we propose an input support system which supports multiple languages and which will make it possible for users-- even users who are in the midst of learning a foreign language that they wish to use and are not familiar with it yet--to easily access the information resources in their desired language. As a text input method that is not restricted by the OS or target language, we propose a system which performs input operations using a web browser. In text string input, by using characters within the ASCII domain, all of the text strings can be assigned to keys on the keyboard. For each language (script), a conversion dictionary is available which shows how the key input string and output string correspond. By devising a conversion dictionary, this system can support all languages (scripts). We perform text conversion in incremental search as a method to speed up input for users who are beginner language learners. Detailed Information Display is a function which displays information related to the vocabulary items that are among the conversion candidates. Using the proposed method, we succeeded in creating an environment in which Japanese students of foreign languages and foreigners living in Japan can input text regardless of their computer's environment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
