#26: proposal: move to using IMEs for ASCII/Latin input

#26: proposal: move to using IMEs for ASCII/Latin input -----------------------+------------------- Reporter: petersen | Owner: i18n@… Type: meeting | Status: new Priority: major | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: -----------------------+------------------- = phenomenon = Currently in Fedora for languages with non-Latin scripts we normally switch between a xkb layout as an input source for inputting Latin/ASCII characters and an IME for inputting native characters. ibus-kkc and ibus-libpinyin both have Latin ("English") input methods. I think it is more natural for primary users of these IMEs to use them by default for Latin character input. So I want to suggest that for F21 we could default Japanese input to use only the kkc IME and Chinese to libpinyin IME, ie no additional keyboard layout source would be needed. Multilingual users might still need an additional keyboard layout input source and that is still fine. Other IMEs might also be extended to support Latin input modes in the future: initially we could do it for those default IMEs that support it. For example I am already using ibus-kkc for both Latin and Japanese input and it works well - I toggle easily between direct and ja input. Perhaps the only change needed for the current IMEs with Latin mode might be input mode state caching, ie using the same mode as last time. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26> Fedora Internationalization <http://fedorahosted.org/i18n/> Fedora i18n Project

by Parag Nemade 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, It took some time but finally we have a working system-config-language[1] tool in Fedora rawhide. The major changes happened from 1.4.1 release to this 2.1.0 release are 1) system-config-language GUI is re-written using PyGobject3 API's. 2) system-config-language checks packages to install for any language using yum-langpacks instead of groups in comps file. 3) system-config-language now uses Packagekit API to install packages. 4) system-config-language migrated from usermode to Policykit. There is one more release coming soon that will add translations and some enhancements to langpack packages installation code module. Regards, Parag.
