This section includes information on language support under Fedora Core.
The default SCIM (Simple Common Input Method) GTK Input Method
Module is now scim-bridge, written from scratch in C
by Ryo Dairiki. SCIM is no longer linked against libstdc++so7, and
scim-qtimm works again.
If SCIM is installed, it now runs by default for users of all locales rather than only some Asian locales as in the previous release. The following table lists the default trigger hotkeys for different languages:
Language | Trigger hotkeys |
all |
|
Japanese | Zenkaku_Hankaku or Alt-` |
Korean | Shift-Space |
To install additional language support from the
Languages group, use
pirut or Applications-Add/Remove
Software, or run this command:
su -c 'yum groupinstall <language>-support'
In the command above, <language> is one of
assamese, bengali,
chinese, gujarati, hindi,
japanese, kannada,
korean, malayalam,
marathi, oriya, punjabi,
sinhala, tamil, thai, or
telegu.
A new user configuration tool called im-chooser
has been added that allows you to disable or enable the usage of
input methods on your desktop. If SCIM is installed but you do not
wish to run it on your desktop, you can disable it using
im-chooser.
