Malayalam on android Mobiles

Posted by Anoop in Android, Malayalam, Opera Mini, Samsung Spica on June 13, 2010

Wow… Finally i can read Malayalam on my samsung spica i5700 (android 2.1 OS). You can also enable Malayalam (most probably all non latin languages) by installing Opera Mini Beta 5 for android. Opera Mini Beta 5 is avaiable in android market.

Once downloaded do the following tweak to enable Malayalam

1. Open Opera Mini Beta 5 browser

2. Type “config:” (without quotes and don’t forget to type colon at the end of the command) on address bar and press OK

3. Change entry for ‘Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts’ to ‘Yes’.

That’s it. Now you can read all unicode Malayalam websites(except atomic chillu characters)  from your mobile phone.

Try and enjoy Malayalam Wikipedia by visiting this: http://ml.m.wikipedia.org/
