Hi,
In gedit, I can right click to select scim input method, then ctrl+space to type pinyins. But in mozilla, I when i right click an input box, it does not have this scim input method. So how do you guys input chinese in browser?
Also, i'm trying copy some windows files with chinese name over to gentoo but the characters cannot be displayed. I am not sure if it have anything to do with localization. I followed the gentoo localization guide and added some language such as zh_cn in locale.gen then ran locale-gen. AFter that i did export LANG="zh_CNutf8" but locale changes back to
| Code: | LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

add these to you ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession:
| Code: | export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" |
to activate scim input method in browser.

1.edit the file /etc/locale.gen
for example: add these to the file:
| Code: | en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
zh_CN GB18030
zh_CN.GBK GBK
zh_CN.GB2312 GB2312
zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
2.execute locale-gen
3.edit the file /etc/env.d/100i18n:
add the following,for example:
| Code: | LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.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" |
3 at last you need to execute env-update and reboot your system.
More details,plz refer to http://zh.gentoo-wiki.com/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if any of files mentioned above doesn't exist under a specify directory,just create one.
PS:~/.xinitrc is used by console command startx,if you login through xdm,choose ~/.xsession instead.

Hi,
Didn't see the last part:

Anyway, i follow your instruction and got locale to work.
As for activating scim input method in browser, I created ~/.xsession and ran:
| Code: | export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
|
in terminal but right clicking on an input box, there is still no scim input method to select. Not sure what export does, so I added:
| Code: | export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
|
in ~/.xsession but that didn't work either. Is there something I am not doing right? |

Hi big,
i did exactly as you told and same problem exist. ctrl+space only work in gedit text file after I right click and select scim input method first.
In firefox, scim input method does not appear at all after right clicking on a input box, so ctrl+space doesn't do anything.
What should i do now?
Not sure if this is part of the problem, i recently emerge scim-qtimm and when emerge completed, it have this part:
* After you emerged scim-qtimm, use right click to switch immodules for Qt.
* If you would like to use scim-qtimm as default instead of XIM, set
* % export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
I didn't do export QT_IM_MODULE=scim because I'm not sure what it will do. What do you suggest? |

well, QT_IM_MODULE only affects those application programs based on qt.you should add this line if there are such programs running on your system.
locale is not the main factor causing your problem,even not a factor.Try to create a file .xprofile under your home directory or just create a link if you're having a .xsession:
| Code: | $cd ~
$ln -s .xsession .xprofile |
or create a new file:
| Code: | $cd ~
$vi .xprofile
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" |
(if you want to start scim when login,add scim -d to the end file)
LC_CTYPE is not required to be set to zh_CN.UTF-8,even if LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8,scim will work smoothly as well.
Locale of my system:
| Code: | 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= |
scim does cooperate with it.
Have a try and good luck! Sorry i have got poor english,but did i make myself clearly?
Regards!

It sounds like the configuration file didn't take effect.You can verify it by executing commands after you login :
| Code: | $ echo $XMODIFIERS
$ echo $GTK_IM_MODULE |
and the output should be:@im=SCIM and scim.
If it does work,i suggest you set LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 and have a try.
BTW,has the method changed something or nothing has changed,so you still have to activate scim manually under gedit and still have no luck under firefox.
Regards!
