Chinese input in Mandrake10

Warlock

Hi,

First I apologize I can not type Chinese, because I have no Chinese input now.

I wonder is there a way to use Chinese input in English Enviroment KDE, like in Microsoft Windows, we can use "ctrl+space" or "ctrl+shift" to switch different input methods.

Thank you in advance.

Please use fcitx.

Hi,

I have fcitx installed in my computer, but in order to use fcitx, I have to set the locale and LC_Type or something to zh_CN which will change my desktop Enviroment to Chinese.

Can I use fcitx or other Chinese input method in English enviroment?

In your own drectory, add following words into .bashrc:
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
In etc/sysconfig/i18, add these words:
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
XIM=fcitx
ENC=gb
XIM_PROGRAM="fcitx"
XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
Restart X. Should be OK, that's what I use.

If still not OK, maybe you can try to change:
LC_Type=zh_CN
only change this line won't change your english environment.

非常感谢！

终于可以在linux里面使用中文象windows一样方便了。

P.S 把LC_Type=zh_CN之后，KDE的字体变得很难看，我把KDE的字体从Sans改成Microsoft Sans之后好多了。

Hi,

if you want to use Chinput which Mandrake has by default, you can do the same thing as "badu" said above, just change "fcitx" to "chinput"

Good luck

when my laptop has been running some softwares at the mean time, such as Openoffice, stardict, xmule and gaim, suddently, I can switch on Chinese input when I press ctrl+space, it just flashes the icon and crashes soon, frequently.
