All the related keyboard layout links redirect to help.keymandesktop.com which targets the Windows platform.
Hence, they're not available when viewing from an Android device.

If we were do fix this, we should transfer this issue to the keyboards repo

Hence, they're not available when viewing from an Android device.

Welp, it turns out they don't work on Windows either.
e.g. http://help.keymandesktop.com/go?language=tam&keyboard=Keyboard_ekwunitamil
Maybe a web.config / .htaccess issue?

[DavidLRowe]

It seems that the links in the welcome.htm file are wrong / outdated.

For example, the last one is:
http://help.keymandesktop.com/go?language=tam&keyboard=Keyboard_visual_media_tamil_typewriter
and perhaps it should be:
https://help.keyman.com/go?language=ta&keyboard=Keyboard_vm_tamil_typewriter

The site, language tag (tam to ta) and keyboard name all changed.

And a prior question should probably be should that information be in the welcome.htm file? Or point to the Tamil keyboards home page (https://keyman.com/keyboards/h/tamil) instead?

I think pointing directly to keyman.com/tamil is probably best (that redirects to the keyboards/h/tamil page). Other links, particularly to keyboards, will probably change over time, as new keyboards are developed etc.

2009 monthly downloads. It's probably important to fix this.

@mcdurdin where is the source for this page? https://keyman.com/keyboards/h/tamil/
Answer, update my keyman.com repo :) keyman.com\keyboards\h\tamil

[LornaSIL]

I guess the main tamil page is up-to-date, so I think PR#2134 should fix this issue.
