Bug Description
Calibre on Linux does not support input methods for East Asian languages. For example, fcitx does not work.
In other Linux programs pressing (for example) Ctrl+Space activates the input method. In Calibre, nothing happens. Also, you cannot select the input method with right clicking in the text box, as it would work in other programs.
In /opt/calibre/
This file can install by sudo apt-get install fcitx-frontend-qt5. Then you can find libfcitxplatfor
I copy it into /opt/calibre/
I remove this file(/opt/
I think some configuration makes this bug. Or you can add this file ( libfcitxplatfor
The version of Qt that comes bundled with calibre was upgraded to 5.4.1.
You need to make sure the plugin you are adding is compatible with that
version of Qt.
As for adding it to calibre, that can only happen if it is a built-in Qt
plugin, I do not want to bundle third party plugins with calibre.
