Hi, I just tested Vivid Beta2 for zh_TW locale. Here are some inputs:
1. After fresh installation, there is no traditional Chinese input method installed by default. However, we expect to have fcitx-chewing installed after the installation process by default. It is not that intuitive for users to check themselves or wait for the prompt from Language Support which many users will just Skip/Neglect it. 2. Language Support will install fcitx-chewing for zh_TW locale which is great. However, the system does not prompt to re-login and nothing happens after the installation. You cannot see fcitix-chewing activated until you re-login. I believe many users might not figure out why they still don't get input methods ready after the installation. Should I file bug reports for these issues? Or they should be treated as part of this bug report? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430893 Title: [FFe] Install Fcitx for Chinese users Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: There are currently two main supported input method frameworks available for CJK users: IBus (current default) and Fcitx. Both are mature projects, but Fcitx is better suited to Chinese users than IBus is, and is already the default in Ubuntu Kylin. IBus is increasingly moving in the direction of removing features upstream like tracking input state on a per-context basis. Also, the leading input method provider in China with more than 300 million users, Sogou, only supports Fcitx under Linux. Skinning support is non-existent in IBus. We've added support for Fcitx on the same level as IBus in Unity, so this FFe is a proposal to make Fcitx the default for Chinese locales this cycle, as a transition towards making Fcitx the default for all users next cycle. The changes should simply be seeding Fcitx and its related packages on the CD image, as well as possible changes to im- config. Those who have explicitly selected IBus as their chosen input method should be unaffected; these changes will only affect new users, and users who have never explicitly chosen an input method framework in their language settings. Also, this FFe propose to make language-selector to install more input method packages for Chinese users to their Fcitx equivalents (currently IBus) when adding/completing Chinese language support.
