• This paper discusses two examples of autochthonous language literacy programs which have experienced radical orthographic changes, and it proposes that the script preprocessors which are designed to write exotic scripts using standard roman computer keyboards be adapted to facilitate shifts from one orthography to another. After explaining the strategy of preprocessing, the potential application of this technology to the orthographies of Q'eqchi'(Mayan) and Paiwan (Formosan) is described. Because similar orthographic conflicts exist for many languages around the world, preprocessing, which can provide efficient script translation, can help minority peoples to better cope with orthographic change.
