[Interest] Qt japanese onscreen keyboard

[Turunen Tuukka]

Hi,

There already is an excellent virtual keyboard for Qt, please see:
http://doc.qt.io/QtVirtualKeyboard/index.html

This is part of the commercial offering, intended for device creation.

As announced at the Qt Developer Days support for Japanese and Korean
languages will be added to it. There already are many other languages
supported, check the link for a full list.

If you want to check it out, you can take the current version for a spin:
http://www.qt.io/download/ (select Free 30-day Trial and then Qt for
Device Creation from the drop down menu).

Yours,

Tuukka Turunen
