Hi everyone! 🙂
We’re trying to improve our understanding of user experience when it comes to text typing (especially bidirectional text).
And that’s why we’d like to ask you to participate in a small poll about the text typing using different languages (writing systems). Thank you for your help!
Let’s say you need to type a message in a language that uses NON-LATIN script (e.g. Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, etc.) on your smartphone or PC/laptop.
Given the message in English
“I like Kotlin and Compose for Desktop!“,
how would you type it in your preferred (maybe native) language for a casual/informal purpose?
Please choose a variant (1-6) and/or type your translation in the thread.
(1-3) for left-to-right languages ➡️ :
1️⃣ ➡️ - No mix: I transliterate the words “*Kotlin*” and “*Compose for Desktop*” into the alphabet of my language
2️⃣ ➡️- Mix: I switch languages and type the both words “*Kotlin*” and “*Compose for Desktop*” using the LATIN script
3️⃣ ➡️- Partial Mix: I transliterate some part(s) and type another parts using the LATIN script
(4-6) for right-to-left languages (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) ⬅️
4️⃣ ⬅️ - No mix: I transliterate the words “*Kotlin*” and “*Compose for Desktop*” into the alphabet of my language
5️⃣ ⬅️ - Mix: I switch languages and type the both words “*Kotlin*” and “*Compose for Desktop*” using the LATIN script
6️⃣ ⬅️ - Partial Mix: I transliterate some part(s) and type another parts using the LATIN script
Would you type it differently for a formal purpose (e.g. for a post in a blog)? If it’s different, please share your formal and informal variants in the thread. Thank you 🙂
