 Numbers of mobile phone in Cambodia are increasing from day to day while there are only very few mobile phones (Khmer built-in) supported Khmer Script. The problem is most of Cambodian users do not know English that means a constraint for them to use text message in English. Furthermore, if they want to compose Khmer text message in none Khmer built-in mobile phone, they must use Latin script to write as Khmer sound phonetic.
Yet it is another constraint if the users are unable to understand Latin script. Moreover, include not only students and those who can read and write Khmer correctly but there also exist many users who can only read and write Khmer very little. It is widely agreed that Khmer language can be promoted especially among young people.  Since cellular phone has become popular, using SMS in Khmer script appears to be an effective way in promoting the language.
Khmer SMS (KSMS) application development, a project of PAN Localization Cambodia (PLC), is aimed at providing Cambodian users an application to use SMS (Short Message Service) in Khmer Script. That means it is able to display Khmer Script correctly according to the feature of Khmer language.
