Known issues

No software is without an issue or two and Azhagi is no exception. Here below are some Known Issues, most of them being very minor or insignificant, as such.

1) In Windows 2000, characters for one or two Tamil numerals might not be displayed properly. Anyway, Tamil numerals are rarely used only.

2) During character count, ’·’ appearing in Tamil words involving transliteration of ‘f’ and ‘ph’ is considered as a separate character. For ex: ’·À¡’ will be considered as two Tamil characters whereas it is a single character, ideally speaking. (Further, tab spaces are considered as characters when they should not be.)

3) ‘Text Area Character Positions’ reports the column position wrongly sometimes when the last character of a line is a blank space. Rarely only this occurs, anyway.

4) During TT, the ETA and TTA may go out of sync RARELY. i.e. there may not be synchronisation between what you type in English in ETA and what you see in TTA. If ever this error occurs, just do one of the following and order will be restored :

(a) Click on 'Re-Transliterate' under 'Special' menu and Azhagi will re-transliterate the English text from the start and restore the synchronisation.

(b) Select the English text in full, copy it and then paste it over the fully selected text

(c) If the above did not work, select the English text in full, copy it and paste it in a blank Ms-Word document. Close the current file and open a new file in Azhagi. Copy the whole text of Ms-Word document and paste it in ETA of Azhagi. Azhagi will transliterate considering the pasted text as an external text and order will be restored.

a) This rare error can occur only during TT (obviously) and will never occur during NTT (i.e. when you type directly in the Tamil text area to effect the transliteration).

b) Also, the above error might occur due to a mistake done by user. The mistake is to open the Tamil file created using azhagi in an external application like Word and editing it and again trying to open it in Azhagi. So, never edit a file created in Azhagi in an external application.

5) When you are pasting text from an outside source, if there are empty lines at the end of the pasted text, then when you paste it in ETA, a synchronisation error might occur sometimes. This is a rare error only. In any case, if you encounter that rare error, then while copying the external text, dont include the empty lines at the end.

Note : If you have any issues, apart from those documented above, please do let us know. Note that the keyboard getting locked sometimes during 'Direct Typing' is not an error at all. Whenever that happens, right click the tray icon of azhagi and untick 'Extended Editing', 'Extended Mode' and 'Use pre-set options' and you will not face this problem.
