搜索表单与阿拉伯文字母

Question

I have an autocomplete search form with cities name and I want to make it compatible with arabic letters(arabic keyboard).Is there a way to interpret the letters as latin letters in the moment they are writen or is there any other way to do this? An example of that is on google,if I put my keyboard on ARABIC and type london(مخىيخى) the autocomplete from google shows london.

Answer 1

you can build two arrays containing Arabic and English letters matching with keyboard layouts.

for Example: var arabic = ["ا", "ل", "ب"]; var english = ["h", "g", "f"]

then you can test onkeydown the pressed letter if it is English or not English. If English just pass it, if not return the matched letter from array.
