| = Setting the input method = But if you want to type in Japanese from an other language session (this is quite the usual case), you can use the ''im-switch'' utility to set the input method for only your account or all the users. In a terminal, type the following: {{{ im-switch -s uim_anthy }}} It will set the default input method for your user account and you current language, but you can set it for a given language session. For example, you could use: {{{ im-switch -z fr_FR -s uim_anthy }}} to associate the uim-anthy input method to the French session of your account. uim allows you to type traditionally, so you can also launch ''im-switch'' as administrator to set the default input method for all the users without any side effect: {{{ sudo im-switch -s uim_anthy }}} Note that user settings prevail over the system ones, so a user you can always override the default input method. = Using the uim applet = Now you can just log out and log back into the desktop and add the applet named ''Uim applet'' on one of your panels (Right click on the panel> Add to panel...). To try out inputting Japanese, launch the '''Gedit text editor'''. At this point, the selected GTK input method should be uim. You can check that right-clicking on the text component and just hovering over the ''Input Methods'' item to check uim is selected. If it's not, you can always set it from there. Type something - it should be ordinary roman text. Press Shift-Space, however, and type "watashi". It should come out as Hiragana "わたし" (it is Japanese for "I"). If you have the panel applet in the panel, it should change to reflect that you are typing Hiragana. Press Return to "fix" the word, or press Space to konvert it to a Kanji (you want "私"). If you got the wrong Kanji, press Space again to get a selection to choose from. Once you've got the right one, press Return. To type ordinary roman text again, just press Shift-Space once more. Notice how the applet display change when you switch of input type. You're typing Japanese! Now you can check the settings in the applet to find out more about the different keys you can type to have more control over the input. |
