Re: Need Chinese input -English+ Fedora 3+
 

that's not sure
all browser can display chinese
it's just the language settings and the font problem.
i can display chinese char in my firefox
and it displays fine too

I don't use Fluxbox so I can't give u guide. but if u use Linux, the config should be the same.

Re: Need Chinese input -English+ Fedora 3+
 

1. set ur broweser's character to gb2312 or 18030 or gbk
2. install Chinese font. if u want use gbk or gb18030 u should make sure that ur font support them.

maybe fcitx be a good choice for u, i also use it to chineseinput.
but u just wanna what way to try somethings others if u like. install zhcon while running under text for chinese supporting.
you should make sure has the proper locale choosed before getting chinese settings work correctly.

Wooh, it took me 2 minutes to configure Chinese input on Mandriva 2005 (cooker actually, but it's just the same programs):D

(As root)
- adduser
- installed scim-pinyin, scim-tables & scim-chewing
(As my new Chinese user)
- fixed locale --> Chinese simplified
- scim -d
- kwrite
- pressed CTRL & SPACE, then choose the right table (simplified chinese pinyin input, dunno its real name) --> ÎÒдÖÐÎÄ :D

Hope it's as easy as this for u guys !

Mandriva have shipped both fcitx and scim.

nice
i am going to try it out
hoe it sounds like all ya described above
easy and fast!
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi People,
If you want to input Chinese in an English locale, just install SCIM and put in your home-directory a .xinitrc file, which contains a line like this:

export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

That makes writing Chinese in an whatever language environment possible, no matter if it's KDE, Gnome, Openoffice.org or Firefox. It is working for me in Slackware 10.0, but should work with other distributions as well. So no need to start programs within a console or as different user.

My /home/username/.xinitrc looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

# Start the window manager:
startkde

The last line startkde will start KDE when I type startx on a console to start my Xwindow-session.
For all people who like to use QT-apps, there is SKIM, based on SCIM but with a QT-frontend. In general no big difference to SCIM.

After starting your x-seesion, you could fire up SCIM by typing scim -d (if you have SKIM, then skim -d) in a console. I just put scim -d in my autostart folder in KDE, so it gets started automatically when I start KDE.

if you use skim, it should start itself whenever you login KDE

BTW: skim provides more possibilities and features than its gtk counterpart
