However, it | wouldn't work with openoffice nor with vi. Everyone's needs differ of | course, but for me, using it with email (muttng, which uses vi) and | openoffice, including, from time to time, spreadsheets, are my two most | frequent needs. | | Also, with scim and abiword, though I didn't research it beyond the | article listed above, it does the conversion up at the top, outside of | the document. For me this is a nuisance--openoffice does on the spot | conversion.
interesting observations. thanx for the info!

| discussion off list, that's fine, either way is ok. (I don't expect it

| most of the list's readers).
no, i would like to hear your experience and also other experiences. the
main idea i try to apply is to make arch usable for every language that
is available on linux. we are now at the beginning of the Way we need to
make work. scim offers lots of flexibility and simplicity for GTK apps
(and QT apps once we have qt4 in the repos) but i see that X11 apps need
to be supported too. to me, the XIM is still partly a mystery (how to
switch between IM's and how to handle it user-friendly if you have more
than one XIM installed (e.g. gcin and scim)).
kinput is not really maintaince-friendly but once i found the time to make
it work in arch as a pkg, i will put it in extra too, as i see clearly
that there are advantages of it in some niches.
feel free to discuss internationalisation issues, ideas, solutions ... on
the ML. to make it easy to the people to separate i18n threads from
others, i suggest using the "[INT]" in the subject.
greetings,
Damir
