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.

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.

“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.
