Chinese input using SCIM in OpenOffice

satellite360 · 02-14-2005, 11:59 PM

Hi all

Any (simplified) Chinese language users managed to get SCIM working with OpenOffice? It is working fine in other applications including AbiWord but no joy in OOo. I'm not a particularly good Chinese reader/writer so am finding it difficult finding any help online - am guessing there will be loads of stuff available in Chinese out there!

Thanks

hi,

type "chinese input" in the LinuxQuestions.org forum search field, you will get a lot of threads/posts about this subject that should solve your problem, but you have to read a bit first!

cheers,

Check if you have XMODIFIER set to =@im=SCIM (case matters) before you start Open Office. Most likly thats all you need to get it work. This is what I have to get my applications including Open Office to work.

export LANG=zh_TW # I use traditional font
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 # I still want to menus to be in english
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM # again case MATTERS.

I hope this solves your problem.

Just changed to Ubuntu (which I am loving) and got SCIM working with OOo very easily - great guide on the Ubuntu forums
