The following table shows the status for each of the 47 languages supported by MaxAuthor 2.5 . MaxBrowser 3 can either use the keyboard mappings that come with Windows 2000/XP/Vista or use its own input system, but not all language's key mappings have been completed. Student keyboard input is needed in MaxBrowser3 for the DICTATION and FILL-IN-THE-BLANK exercise formats. FILL-IN-THE-BLANK exercises can either be direct type-in or "choose from a list", in which case no keyboard input system is needed. Languages shown in Red are not yet supported by MaxBrowser3.
