About: MULE

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The MULtilingual Enhancement (MULE) is computer software which adds extra written language characters to the GNU Emacs text editor and programming environment. MULE provides facilities to handle text written in many languages (at least 42 character sets, 53 coding sets, 128 input methods, and 58 languages), and multilingual texts containing several languages in the same buffer. This goes beyond the simple facilities offered by Unicode to represent multilingual text. MULE also supports input methods, composing display using fonts in various encodings, changing character syntax and other editing facilities to correspond to local language usage, and more.

  • The MULtilingual Enhancement (MULE) is computer software which adds extra written language characters to the GNU Emacs text editor and programming environment. MULE provides facilities to handle text written in many languages (at least 42 character sets, 53 coding sets, 128 input methods, and 58 languages), and multilingual texts containing several languages in the same buffer. This goes beyond the simple facilities offered by Unicode to represent multilingual text. MULE also supports input methods, composing display using fonts in various encodings, changing character syntax and other editing facilities to correspond to local language usage, and more. MULE was originally based on Nemacs, a version of Emacs extended to handle Japanese, released in 1987. Development stalled, and the effort to incorporate increased language functionality into the main Emacs version stalled, until the fork between Lucid Inc. and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) led to XEmacs, which for several years boasted considerably better support for multiple languages and character sets. This competition reinvigorated development of GNU Emacs's language handling abilities and prompted the inclusion of MULE in version 21 of GNU Emacs. MULE was written by the researchers Satoru Tomura, Ken'ichi Handa, Mikiko Nishikimi, and Naoto Takahashi, of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), which is a part of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), of the government of Japan. This made it impossible for the developers to assign copyright to FSF, as is usually done for contributions to GNU packages. (en)
  • MULE(ミュール)は、GNU EmacsのMULtilngual Enhancement、すなわち多言語拡張である。の開発を終了してからMule の開発へ移行する際に、GNU Emacsで「いつでも、どこでも、どんな言語でも」扱えることを目指し、Multilingual とされた。Muleの開発は終了しており、実現された機能をより適切に表現するなら、"MULtiscript Enhancement"、すなわち「多用字系拡張」である。Muleがテキストの操作に提供する機能は、言語固有の表記法による検索機能や、文章の校閲機能はなく、各言語で使用される文字列の入力、編集、表示だからである。Mule機能をGNU Emacsに統合し、Muleそのものの開発は終了した。Muleが提供した機能をGNU Emacsに限らず、GNU/Linuxのソフトウェアに提供することを目指して多言語ライブラリの開発を行っている。現在はの開発も終了している。 (ja)
