<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.5em;padding:0px">A new faculty member at the University of Hawai‘i Maui College is being credited with helping in the development of software that supports the Hawaiian language.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.5em;padding:0px">
UHMC’s Keola Donaghy collaborated with programmers in Microsoft’s Local Languages Program for several years to develop resources and see that they were included in the new Windows 8 operating software.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1.5em;padding:0px">
“We’re getting very close to the day that Hawaiian speakers will be able to take for granted the fact that they can simply type in Hawaiian when they buy a new computer, tablet, or smart phone without installing special software,” said Donaghy in a media statement today.</p>
