Hi Koenraad. Greetings from Brussels. I stumbled over your mail so here you have the solution: you need to install a GTK package called IBUS (from the repos). You then need ibus intelligent pinyin and supplemental packages for ibus input (that will differ following the preferences of your daughter). Once installed, start opensuse, go into "search" of the programm menue and type ibus. Choose ibus, it will open and from now on you will see a little simbole with the locale you have choosen. Click on it and go to setup and you will be presented the opportunity to join input methods. The programm you daughter used before was similar. It is called scim. It is less modern now but still available. She may have a look at ibus and then also go for SCIM if she is not satisfied. In all means if she uses KDE she has to use ibus. SCIM is not supported anymore in KDE. IBUS works well, I am using it for mandarine Chinese. 你好！ The switch between methods is easily defined. Feel free to ask if you encounter problems.

P.S. There is no "japanese keyboard" that solves. They have 3 alphabets katakana, hiragana and kanyi. So the only way is via IBUS or SCIM.

Greets.

Either yast search ibus or sudo zypper in ibus (from the command line). Easier will be yast I suppose.

Hi, Many thanks, I will try this as soon as I see my daughter again. P.S. keep messages on the list. Maybe others can use this to solve their problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
