2007-06-21 19:23:45 Micah Cowan None: statusexplanation The current case is already as you describe. Input methods and keyboard layouts are quite separate from the translation metapackages. All of the keyboard layouts are installed already on a fresh system; input methods for Chinese and the like involve installing scim and related software. None of this has anything to do with the translation packages. For instance, I personally do some occasional typing in greek, hebrew, or Japanese, and also frequently need to use latin-language diacritical marks. For greek and hebrew, I simply add the greek and hebrew layouts to my available layouts, in Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts. I also configure in the Layout Options tab, keys to switch between layouts, and a Compose key so I can hit <compose key> ' e to produce é. For Japanese, I've installed scim-anthy, scim-gtk2-immodule, scim-qtimm, and im-switch, and use im-switch -z en_US -s scim to enable it (takes effect when I log out/back in). Since this behavior is already in place, I'm closing this bug out. Thanks!
