Khmer language input support

[Adam Wood]

Ever since at least Ubuntu 10.04 Khmer language input has not worked correctly out-of-the-box (including 12.04 beta). The problem lies in Khmer's use of digraphs (two chars) for one input keystroke for some vowels. This bug has been documented here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/200844
and here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335944
It has passed from version to version and should be fixed.

Hi,

Please send your request to other IMFs like IBus and Fcitx if possible, because we are in a slow but moving process of removing SCIM from Debian because of its unmaintained/broken status, so it will make Ubuntu lost SCIM someday, too.

Nevermind Aron, he has his own agenda.

That being said, I am not sure anyone in the scim team has any Khmer skills.

One thing, though, and since you were aware of the original ticket. Please do not report duplicate bug reports as it slows things down even further. There is a knob on every ticket in Launchpad were you can indicate that "this bug affects me".
