Hello or Iranqarahte-e in Ainu of Japan Aynu itah -itaq-k = language Those who use Japanese and Kotoeri there is a icon in the text menu in screen shot below.Ainu is written in Katakana アaイiヌnu イiタtaㇰk = Aynu itah/itaq/k or Roman =Aynu itah -itaq-k when using this setting you press A, i ,n ,u , keys it will convert into Katakana some Japanese prefer Katakana others prefer Roman the problem with Katakana it does not represent final letter and must use a special small letter or syllable kaカ , kiキ ,ku ク,ke ケ,ko コ. i イ is ok and ta タ,but final ku ク is not ㇰk is used ,hence the conversion itah q are variations. that is the only support Apple has for Ainu.At present some Japanese and Ainu are trying to get J apanese I ndustrial S tandards to get it into the platforms then we need Apple i/OS/X dictionaries ,Siri, predictive writing text,Grammar spell checker Google translate,Google ermersion. there is a lot of Ainu ( mostly roman script ) written online mixed with Japanese ,this is mostly historical text and some blogs and dictionaries ( Ihave spent years researching books and online material )now we have an online dictionary http://ainutopic.ninjal.ac.jp/en/,but does not work on iOS. The main problem is the various dialects, syntax ,words ,spelling, pronunciation and natives speakers of Ainu language , now only a handful of bi-lingual Japanese and Ainu native speakers,they are very old most thousands of Ainu speak Japanese as first language and some a little Ainu are a few , Some book dictionaries and text ,bible written by Batchelor a near native speaker 60 years. last century. with the argument Apple may not support i/OS/X dictionaries ,Siri, predictive writing text,Grammar spell checker. Iaim to go further and like to have Ainu i/O S /X bi-lingual interface or Help tags on icons emoji and text on menu ,we point our mouse pointer and a yellow help tag pops up and shows the word in the bi -lingual ( if it is icon only) language of our choice. all text can be linked to an Apple bi- directional dictionary Japanese ( with furigana ) Ainu ( sometimes Ido not know the criteria for Help tags ,some are obvious Reader Show reader ! some icons + do not have help tags and where is the explanation ? and you can make the cursur big and you can not see the tags! so is that a solution ? apart from computer terms Ainu does not have language terms , as well we need to translate the teaching of code into Ainu code to protect the Ainu langauge in the future Ainu needs to be written on computer and collected as raw data for making a Google translate and dictionary and teaching writing and then Siri or speech software to do dictation and some way to read all the written ainu on the web. the biggest challenge is the Ainu grammar for a software writer- Ainu itah /eywanqe an ro . a simple sentence Let's use /speak Ainu !

I have a very fast internet at home in Japan but I do not trust it because the upload is 300MB and poor down load on OOkla and many speed tests so I am forced to go to town and get on the `free wifi ,but not safe better that infecting my Router and iMac newest OS computer at home.especially for technical work I want to develop Ainu Karelian language bi-lingual user OS like interface and many language Apps but there are many people who do not want this and target me and wreck my plans.so I work on paper.And after spending hours downloading thinking that Xcode 11 was for El Capitan, now I have to delete it and download Xcode 8
I visited a site called https://apple-localization.com ,a chat bot ask for my e-mail address then froze, is it illegal ?
I do not have Wifi at home in Japan because my iMac 2012 is too old for Japanese 2023,4 router and NTT docomo does not support old Mac or apple even soft bank has cellular 5G call capture apple that goes into encrypted network append locks it by passing my log in password ,this ia criminal but foreigner do not have any rights under Japanese law even Japan Apple call center sends me to English also I wish to say happy new year and congratulations that Apple developer is into apps but my2012 iMac Catalina OSX may not get full appreciation use I am still learning Ainu language and heard Ainu language researching Japan are developing making localization iOS/X bi-lingual interface for Ainu and dictionary predictive texts off iPhone also Huawei too for smart phone and Tungus Siberian lang page support with AI patterned my AI NU of nu =write see hear in Ainu I am interested in AI to make voice language in Ainu to teach talk Ainu learn Ainu and develop iOS /x for Ainu language and Nivkhi of Sakhalin and code in Ainu in the future AI will be able to write bi-lingual AINU TO...instruction code to make my own OS in Ainu language and also language and computer dictionary of computer terminology in Ainu bi-lingual and bi-lingual Ainu predictive text translated with voice so I can write to you in Ainu and art will show English translation word for word and this will be used in the Ainu bi-lingual predictive chat App and dictionary grammar 100 percent Ainu Computer and software code with dictionary not only me but millions of people with minority languages are demanding devices be designed to have rights for all languages that have ever existed and computer speed AI Can do the mammoth tasks of collecting data words to develop computer terms in those languages and users can edit their own words like now we can name app titles folder text names in Ainu A I and quantum can do this HUAWEI is doing this they see many people in thud world have no access to AI and power Wifi cell phones and China is going to get into this market because west just wants to have it for them selves they want to choose their language China will be able to serve this because Chinese is spoken by many and they are satisfied and they never impose Chinese language onto others but CHINESE HANJI 10,000 YEARS OLD CAN BE USED IN CODE AND MODERN COMPUTER AI it is a writing system designed for computing as though it they knew of computers 10,000 years ago.
Apple had better serve the world in their language before someone else gets there there is Ainu icon on keyboard preference but useless because it renders roman into katakana and it destroys Ainu I am not saying that latin is the best until we develop a a script to fit with Ainu voice AI can do that by phonetic tactic voice recognition app Siri can not even teach me Finnish when I ask in Finnish !
