Standardized Lao font introduced for computer systems
Computer content in Laos may soon become standardized, according to officials from the Science, Technology and Environment Agency (STEA), which held a seminar on the implementation of Lao standard content yesterday. The seminar, held at the STEA office, was chaired by the agency's Vice-president Dr. Maydom Chanthanasinh, and attended by 60 representatives of various government organizations and the business sector.
The aim of seminar was to publish the office notice of the Lao government Secretariat No. 1071, dated July 6, regarding the approveal of Phetsarath Ot Lao UNICODE, the Lao font that will be official standard for communication and information exchange in local computer systems, as agreed by the Prime Minster on July 2.
Participants were shown a demonstration about how font had developed, and the many advantages of using the Phetsarath OT Lao UNICODE in current computer systems.
"This is a good opportunity for us to set the standard on the Lao font, which has been a problem in the past because local computer systems can't usually read it.", said Dr. Maydom.
"At the same time, the Science and Technology Department of STEA has been successful in Lao programme development, such as Xangdao for office applications and program called Salika for email in teh Lao language. Please will now have the option of using a Lao language commands on their computers."
In this era of globalization, and the new information and communication technology, it's important for Lao people to be able to communicate and access software in their own language,said Dr. Maydom.
