dear Sajesh,
I have done something related to ur problem, but it deosnot support the
interactive input and output. Infact there is a mechanism but i havenot
tried for that. In My application, i have changed the menu into local
language like, Tamil.
For example if u want to display the tamil menu, then u have to use TSCII
Codec proided by QT itslef.
The process is as follows
char *ch={ 0x0804,0805, 0}; //Unicode equivalent code for tamil
QTextCodec *codec =new TsciiCodec();
QString str=codec->toUnicode(ch);
//now display the string in button or menu or anywhere.
For Japanese, u need to Instantiate TJisCodec instead of TsciiCodec.
Now u need to look for unicode equivalent for japanese and additional
TJis encoded fonts.
U can write ur own codec for another japanese encoding system as well...
If u need interactive, then ur keyboard layout sud be changed and it sud
produce Unicode equivalent for Japanese when u press any key.
If u are just worrying for typing some japanese character,( bypassing
encoding scheme), then in ur textbox, there must be setfont method, set
the font to some ttf-japanese font . if direct setfont method isnot
available for editing widget ( like QLineEdit), then rewrite the paint
method of that widget with japanese font.
I amnot quite sure, whether it serves your purpose or not.
I will be very much happy if u are also working in this area. Further
discussin is most welcome.
