Great progress, everybody!
For getting it in Etoys and testing, we probably need to specify the fonts and probably add a few Smalltalk classes. Let us work together to get a working version in the near future release.
If we defaulted to Unicode input and Pango rendering for "unknown" languages, shouldn't a new language just work by adding a .mo?
Almost. For the font part, the Scratch experience tells us that the rendered text size widely varies from a font to another. They need to explicitly specify the scale factor for each languages. We don't have that mechanism so either have it or specify the font sizes for languages would be needed.
For the classes, the clipboard and "keyboard input interpreter" etc. should be aware of it (unfortunately).
