Hi,
Is there a way to type Chinese using IIIMF without setting LANG to zh_cn@UTF-8 ?
I want to keep my applications in English/Spanish and be able to type in Chinese. If I set the LANG variable to Chinese, all menus are displayed in Chinese and I don't want that. I'm able to achieve this using SCIM as input method, but it is neither part of Fedora nor the recommended input method.
Regards, Rodolfo
Hi Rodolfo,
Certainly, you can.
- In Gnome, select "Internet/Intranet Input Method" by right click the mouse and then follow the "Input Method" menu. - Add GIMLET to the desktop panel, use GIMLET to select which language/Inpu Method you want.
Hope it helps, Yu Shao

Hi Yu Shao,
Yes, certainly it helped.
As you said in another message gimlet is not really user friendly. I got used to press space bar to confirm the text as I type and gimlet default behaviour is rather annoying to me. I feel more comfortable using SCIM at this moment.
Thanks for your help, Rodolfo

Not right-click on GNOME desktop, but right-click on gedit or Evolution's email compose edit box.
Then, choose Input Methods / Internet/Intranet Input Method. The GIMLET applet will appear on the panel (task bar). In my case, it shows "English". Clicking on the applet, do whatever necessary to select Simplified Chinese, then use pinyin to input Chinese characters.
Don't use space bar while entering Chinese character, cause if you hit space bar, the applet will switch to show 英文, which indicates that pinyin input is disabled. To reenable it, click on GIMLET applet and select Chinese again.
To disable pinyin (to enter English words), hit space bar, or Ctrl-Space Bar, or click on GIMLET applet and select English.
This facility is not user-friendly yet, but at least now, I can use it effectively, after getting to know its bizarre behavior.
Hope that helps.
Hi Daniel,
Tks for your advice.
Login Gnome (language tried : Trad/Simplified Chinese)
Gedit > Right click > Input Method
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected. Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found
'Ctrl+Space bar' switching between Pinyin/Canjie and English. Chinese input is possible
My problems were
1) If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the first page I can't switch to another page (additional/following page). This happens on all programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer, etc.
2) The contents in the Menu/tool-bar on OOo Writer disappear, if login Trad/Simplified Chinese, leaving only English characters there (short form description). I don't need Chinese menu. English menu can serve me.
I don't know how to fix them. I have another FC2 box which does not have those problems. It is quite funny to me.
I have posted those problems before without response. Can you help.
TIA

Hi,
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected. Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found
To add gimlet applet - right click on your panel -> Add to Panel -> Utility -> InputMethod Switcher.

Is it because you have upgraded iiimf-le-xcin to the latest version on the other FC2 machine when we were discussing this problem initially? :-)
Try to upgrade again and see if it helps.

I am using English language as the default. I hardly ever login to Gnome session in Chinese. With UNICODE & UTF-8 (UNICODE Transformation Format) support, you can enter any UNICODE characters in a document. You don't have to use Chinese menu. Just remember to send emails with UTF-8 encoding (except for some web-mail users, who can receive only BIG-5 or GB-2312 encoding.) Text files are typically saved as UTF-8 encoding.

My Ctrl+Space bar doesn't work, maybe I haven't upgraded to the latest. Your setup works better than mine in this particular aspect! I might wait for Fedora Core 3 before I have time to upgrade everything together.
My problems were
- If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the
first page I can't switch to another page (additional/following page). This happens on all programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer, etc.
I use the ">" character to page through the selection.
