IIIMF FAQ is live in fedora.redhat.com

To fellow Fedora users,

I have put a initial version of IIIMF FAQ for Fedora Core to:

http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html

All of the questions and answers are reflecting our current shipping
version of IIIMF in Fedora Core 3, and most of them still holds for
Fedora Core 2.

I highly recommend you upgrade to Fedora Core 3 packages, so that you
can benefit updates in IIIMF and whole much of other goodies in
internationalization side.

Feel free to send me or this list comments if you have other Q&A.

Appreciate your support in Fedora Project.

Yours,
Leon and the I18N team

Chinese editing function disappeared.

Hi folks,

FC2
OpenOffice 1.1.2

My box was able to edit Chinese (both Traditional and
Simplied) on Text editor, Webmail, OOo, etc. without
problem.  Menu was displayed on Traditional and
Simplified Chinese correctly on seleting the
respective Chinese language on login.  About yesterday
after running "yum update" which updated many packages
including kernel, OOo, etc. now my box can't edit
Chinese, all Chinese menu gone.

Please advise how to get this problem fixed.

TIA

B.R.

Re: Chinese editing function disappeared.

Hi Stephen,

>From Ooo 1.1.2, it uses GTK+ toolkit if you run OOo in GNOME desktop.
That's mean it is same as other gtk+ applications now which can use
iiimf-gtk im-module.

So make sure you have htt_server running and the environment variable of
GTK_IM_MODULE set correctly. For example:

1. Login into GNOME desktop
2. Run gnome-terminal
3. try to test by using this command:
   LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter

If still not okay please have a check Troubleshooting FAQ at
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html and see if it
helps.

Cheers,
Leon

Hi Leon

Tks for your advice.

oowriter started but could not input Chinese. 
Shift+Space/Ctrl+Space has no function.

Have you tested LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit? Does it work
for you?

i18n LANG setting in FC3

I changed the LANG setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to

LANG=zh_TW.Big5 (or zh_TW.UTF-8) from the default LANG=en_US.UTF-8

An "echo $LANG" shows that the LANG setting has been changed to the new 
value.  However, this change is effective only in that session.  When I 
start a new shell, the LANG setting goes back to the default value.  Is 
there any script in FC3 that overwrites i18n settings?

Still the same situation as oowriter, gedit started
but could not edit Chinese.  Shift+Space/Ctrl+Space
has no function.  Both of them displayed Chinese menu
correctly.

Re: Chinese editing function disappeared.

Hi Leon,

Further to my last email I discovered the trick.

After login as GNOME either Traditional or Simplified
Chinese, on terminal started either

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter

or

LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter

or

LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit

or

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit

Chinese editing (Traditional/Simplified) worked. 
Because the small indicator did not popup, I have to
try blindly to test the Language_input_section with
<Ctrl+Space> and the Input_method with (Ctrl+Shift>.

Secondly running "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim
oowriter" following warning popup:-
$ LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit
