Hello,
I am following along with the FAQ :
Q: Can I manually enable IIIMF for other locales or all locales so that I can use [insert your favorite language engine name]?
$ mkdir ~/.xinput.d $ ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiimf ~/.xinput.d/default $ mkdir ~/.xinput.d $ ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiimf ~/.xinput.d/en_US
Then restart X. I did that
Q: I do not have GIMLET (gnome-im-switcher) enabled on my desktop. What should I do?
* Right click on your panel * Press "add to panel" * Select "InputMethod Switcher" * Press "Add" I did that Q: OK! It is still not working in GNOME. What can I check?
* Check if you have installed iiimf-server, iiimf-x, iiimf-libs, iiimf-gtk, iiimf-gnome-im-switcher, and one of the language engine above * Check if you have started IIIM service: i.e. service iiim status. If not please start the service in root: service iiim start * Check manually if the server is working by running LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit (if you have installed iiimf-le-canna. Please check the previous question for locale reference to language engine)
I did that... japanese input works!
* If it is working, that's mean you do not have the environment variable or correct locale. Please check what locale are you in by running locale in command line, or check if you have ~/.xinput.d setup correctly.
I am confused... I chose Japanes when I logged into to gnome, yet [ws4@ws4 ~]$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
And do I have to change my locale just to enter Japanese?
When I use the default hotkey <ctrl-space> nothing is entered when I use the keyboard. As well I now have a keyboard selector which alternates between <USA, Tha> and the gimlet app which alternates between <en,jp> on my icon line. Thai and English still seem to work ok. And Japanese does when I include the locale on the gedit command line (at least I think it does, the romanji box appears. I don't know Japanese).
Thanks for any help you might give me.

You mean you choose Japanese on gdm, you got the following result then?
JFL> [ws4@ws4 ~]$ locale JFL> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 JFL> LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" JFL> LC_ALL=
possible thing about this problem is
1) If you can see Japanese translation at the desktop, you may have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 stuff somewhere like in .bashrc.
2) If you can't even see Japanese translation at the desktop, you may have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 somewhere in the system-wide configuration. what about the result of $GDM_LANG? if you choose Japanese from gdm, you should have GDM_LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.

Assuming that your requrement are to input Japanese at the English desktop, right? then you can add Japanese at gimlet's Add or Remove Language dialog - try to press the left button at gimlet icon and choose Add or Remove item - and choose Japanese from language menu on gimlet. icon should be changed to Ja. If you think that changing it from gimlet is annoying, you can put LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 into $HOME/.i18n instead.

I thought so, but no. I do get LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_NAME="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

I can. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 is not in .bashrc
... what about the result of $GDM_LANG? if you choose Japanese from gdm, you should have GDM_LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.
I have GDM_LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

I have gimlet with Japanese and English as choices. When I choose Japanese I cannot input anything at all. When I choose English I can input English.
Thanks for your help.
