Microsoft is leaving no stone unturned to make Windows 10 the perfect operating system for every user worldwide. Windows OS is available globally that makes it mandatory that it supports all languages. The latest development from Windows 10 branch says it's happening finally.
Till date, Windows lacked in support for global languages and to overcome this drawback Microsoft will introduce a Universal Shaping Engine in Windows 10 that will increase language support and it will benefit millions of its global users. The shaping engine will enable scripts with contextual and non-linear typographic requirements to be displayed on the computer screen.
There is no shaping engine as of now in the OS and that's why it doesn't support half of the languages. That's why people install various fonts and use different keyboards. The Universal Shaping Engine in Windows 10 will support any complex script provided with a suitable font. This shaping engine is universal because it consumes data directly from the Unicode Standards, it uses Universal scripting model that models the superset of human writing systems, it enables support for advanced typography with the help of opentype font feature and its many more specifications.
With this new engine, Windows 10 supports languages like Balinese, Batak, Brahmi, Buginese, Buhid, Chakma, Cham, Duployan, Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Grantha, Hanunoo, Javanese, Kaithi, Kayah Li, Kharoshthi, Khojki, Khudawadi, Lepcha, Limbu, Mahajani, Mandaic, Manichaean, Meitei Mayek, Modi, Mongolian, N’Ko, Pahawh Hmong, Phags-pa, Psalter Pahlavi, Rejang, Saurashtra, Sharada, Siddham, Sinhala, Sundanese, Syloti Nagri, Tagalog, Tagbanwa, Tai Le, Tai Tham, Tai Viet, Takri, Tibetan, Tifinagh and Tirhuta. Some of these languages were supported in the previous version too but with a different technology.
