Re:Typing Chinese like English on Monday October 31, 2016 @06:13PM (#12841427)
Ok, trying to write 国家栋樑. Unfortunately I only got the first two characters..国 is Fqge, 家 is ei(, but haven't figured out how to do the last two. Any idea how to get the last two?

Quick suggestion: when shift key is not down, should show lower case letters. When shift key is down, show upper case letters.

Ok, I figured it out...瓦 = qRre

I really want to like this. Maybe what the developer can do is to build a simple app that translates a Chinese character into a series of keys. That will ease some of the frustrations on not being able to figure out how to type using this input method. For example, I am trying to type 瓦 but for the life of me I can't figure out how.

edit: removed "shift doesn't work"...does seem to work.

From http://www.doudoulinux.org/web/english/about/more-about/arti...

"“Doudou” is a French word that means wubby, the teddy bear or the cloth that children carry everywhere and hug very strongly in their arms before falling asleep. In China the word 豆豆 means the same and is pronounced the same too."

Chinese it's pronounced doughdough (4th tone, if anyone cares) as someone else mentioned below.

What a coincidence. HBR just ran a blog on How to Build a Strong Relationship with a New Boss, which seem complementary.
