[  ](https://issues.imfreedom.org/issues/TALKATU)

Talkatu is a collection of Gtk+ widgets that are useful for chat applications.

It was started as a rewrite of the GtkIMHTML widget found in Pidgin, but

quickly expanded to include most things related to conversation windows.

This is highly experimental right now and might eat babies, we're not sure

yet. So proceed with caution :-D

The name is a pun of talkatoo from Super Mario Odyssey which just so happens

to also say "talk at u" :-D

Currently Talkatu depends on

* glib-2.0 >= 2.40.0

* gtk+-3.0 >= 3.10.0

* gladeui-2.0 >= 3.0.0

* gspell-1 >= 1.2

* gumbo >= 0.10

* libcmark

All of our internationalization work is done via the

[Talkatu](https://www.transifex.com/pidgin/talkatu/dashboard/) project under

the [Pidgin organization](https://www.transifex.com/pidgin/) on

[Transifex](https://www.transifex.com). If you would like to contribute

that's the place to do it.
