New issue 1753 by [email protected]: Change ibus indicator to show
Language instead of Layout for xkb keyboards
https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1753
OS (Linux distributions, UNIX or ...): Linux
Architecture (i386, x86_64): all
IBus version: 1.5.9
Input method name and version: xkb keyboards
Currently, the ibus indicator in the panel displays the first 2 characters
of the input LAYOUT, which is confusing for users as "English (US)"
shows "US", or "Hebrew" shows "IL" (for Israel?). Many users are not in
the home countries of these input methods, and only associate "English
(US)" or "English (UK)" with English, NOT with US or GB. I propose
therefore to use the first 2 characters of the LANGUAGE, not the LAYOUT to
be displayed by the ibus indicator in the panel. If 2 different English
layouts have been added to ibus, then the first should show "EN" and the
second should show "EN2".
The attached patch does just this. It uses the first 2 characters of the
LANGUAGE not the LAYOUT. The existing code already handles the situation
if 2 or more layouts are included with the same abbreviation. So, if I now
have "English (US)" and "English (Canada)" layouts in ibus, they will show
as "EN" and "EN2".
Thanks to Doug Rintoul for providing this patch, I am just submitting it.
