Menksoft (Mongolian: ᠮᠦᠩᠬᠡ ᠭᠠᠯ ᠰᠣᠹᠲ Müngke Gal soft, lit. "inextinguishible flame"; Chinese: 蒙こうむ科か立りつ, Pinyin: Měng Kē Lì, lit. "Mongol·Technology·Self-support") is an IT company in Inner Mongolia, who developed Menksoft Mongolian IME, the most widely used Mongolian language input method editor (IME) in Inner Mongolia.

History

[edit]

Menksoft was established in May 2002 by S. Soyolt (Chinese: 苏·苏雅拉ひしげ图; Pinyin: Sū. Sūyǎlātú). In 2003, it was evaluated as a major software enterprise of Inner Mongolia and one of the 20 largest private enterprises in Hohhot.[1][2] In 2004, it gained the Gold Prize of INT'L Soft China.[3] It is supported by the Chinese government.[4]

Corporate leadership

[edit]

Menksoft holds close ties with the Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities. The Mongolian website of Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities is tl.menksoft.com under the Menksoft webhost menksoft.com.

Input method series and their code

[edit]

The Mongolian code used in Menksoft Mongolian IMEs has become the de facto international code of Mongolian: the largest competitor of Menksoft in Mongolian script input domain — Saiyin — wrote a "howto" for users to use Saiyin code and Menksoft code in parallel, and says "What would you do if you've already installed and registered Saiyin IME, but you want to contribute for newspaper office? They do only accept Menksoft code. Saiyin has already settled this problem for you" on a page of its website called " How to use Saiyin IME with Menksoft in parallel."[5]

Besides the integrated code converter in Menksoft Mongolian IME, there is a standalone version converter which can convert almost every Mongolian script code, except Unicode.[6]

Input method series

The Menksoft IMEs are a collection of Input method editors (IMEs) for typing Mongolian-related scripts such as Mongolian script, Uyghurjin script, Manchu script, and Xibe script.

Menksoft Mongolian Input method series

[edit]

Menksoft Mongolian IME is the only free and widely used input method editor of Menksoft.

Supported scripts include Mongolian, Uyghurjin, Manchu, Xibe, etc.

The Menksoft IMEs make use of Private Use Areas (PUA) of Unicode and the Chinese GB 18030 code that form the so-called "Menksoft Mongolian code" (Chinese: 蒙こうむ科か立りつ蒙こうむ古文こぶん编码).

With the influence of Chinese input methods built-in whole sentence input pattern, the focus of Menksoft Mongolian IME is not placed on a Mongolian keyboard layout, but on phoneme pattern input methods, as they are more commonly used for Chinese language text.

Unicode was late to provide adequate support for the Mongolian script, where the first and as of 2009 only functional implementation is shipped with Windows Vista. This resulted in some popularity for the Menksoft IMEs in Inner Mongolia, where even the local government websites uses them.[Ref 1][Ref 2][Ref 3]

There is an English interface of Menksoft Mongolian IME, but Menksoft did not build an English installation program. People using operating systems without Chinese language support must use the Chinese installation programs (maybe mojibake) and set the language settings to English interface through the language bar after installation. Menksoft is incompatible with Macintosh operating systems.

Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method

[edit]
Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method

Based on research,[7] Menk Mongolian Whole-Word Input method (Chinese: 蒙こうむ科か立りつ蒙こうむ古文こぶん整せい词输入いれ法ほう or 传统蒙古文こぶん整せい词智能ちのう化か输入输出系けい统) is said to be the first word input pattern input method for 拼音文字もじ (a concept including alphabet (linguistic definition), abugida and semi-syllabary, excluding syllabary) in the world.[8]

In this method, you can type fewer letters than Menksoft Mongolian IME. For example, "sainjiyaga" in Menksoft Mongolian IME becomes "saijyg"; "erdemtu" becomes "eedt";[9] the word "Mongol" can be input by typing "mc;gv".

Unlike Menksoft Mongolian IME, the whole-word input method is not freeware; it is a professional and educational edition.

Supported scripts are Mongolian, clear, Manchu, and Xibe.[10]
