 Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2002 1:45 pm Post subject: Chinese Input Systems |
 |
|
There is xcin, I know. I can't get it to work, it complains about xcinrc and I cannot find a man page, thus I cannot RTFM. The documentation is in traditional Chinese, I can't read it.
Also, I suspect it is not a Unicode based input system. Can someone confirm whether or not scin is Unicode?
Lastly, how do I integrate it with other applications? The tldp.org Chinese HOWTO suggests xa, it is notin the portage tree, nor do they say what it's website is. |

getting xchin to work is quite easy, there should also be some english howto's for non native chinese speakers as me  (no i don't understand anything from the chinese version of the howto
an example would be following .xinitrc (to start xcin with kde)
| Code: |
export LANG="zh_CN"
/usr/bin/xcin &
export XMODIFIERS="@im=xcin-zh_CN"
/usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde
|
The XMODIFIERS tells XIM enabled programms to use xcin as input.
As regarding to unicode - i think this depends on your lang settings. The default for zh_CN should be gb. The easiest thing would be to look for a convertor from gb to unicode (many of those exist, same as for gb to BIG5 (the traditional system))
As for reading the traditional version, there are some web-based converters there that convert BIG5 -> gb code, so that you can read it with simplified characters. Just ask google for it  |

xcin: error: /etc/xcinrc:
IM section "array30": SETKEY: value not specified.
Still dying...
Should I use gentoo's xcinrc or the xcinrc in the tarball? |
