Korean Support


Hi,
I have several korean fonts installed and I use the US_UTF8 locale which make me able to view correctly korean filenames. However, I am looking for a way to input korean and switch between US and Korean keyboards. I found a great deal of information concerning japanese on google but it is usually overcomplicated and in any case not entirely adapted to my problem.
Does anyone managed to input korean text and switch with US input?
For info, I am using debian with kde.
Thanks for your help!
A.

I'm not sure whether it works well with KDE (works fine with XFCE), but I use SCIM for Chinese input, and I've seen in the config it has all sorts of languages (arabic, chinese, japanese, etc.) - I don't have my debian box with me right now, but I believe it supports korean as well. Try an "apt-cache search scim", and install the main scim packages - you may need to install some korean-specific tables, which will be a separate package.

Then, try and "apt-cache search m17n" - multilingualization packages. I believe the one you want to install is called "m17n-env", but I'm not sure. Anyways, one of those packages should have a program in it that allows you to setup scim to automatically start with the X session for certain users. Try dpkg -L m17n-env | grep bin to see the programs the package comes with (after you've installed it). I believe the program you want to run is "m17n-env" anyways - I believe running as root sets defaults for unconfigured users, and running it as the user configures your particular user. This way you could set your system to default users to using one or a set of languages, but certain users use a different language or set of languages.

Once you get it setup and working correctly, you should see a little SCIM icon in your system tray, that you can click on and configure (set it up for the right input modes / languages and hotkeys). Ctrl+space switches input modes by default (on my system, between English and Chinese).

Hope that helps - good luck!

I run across this post when I search other topics. I don't know whether your problem solved or not. SCIM have a Korean IMEngine scim-hangul for Korean input, you can have a try. You can check the SCIM offical site here:
http://www.scim-im.org/projects/imengines

I believe you can find debian package for this module. I do not use debian myself, so I think you have to search it yourself.
