English letters still present. Will attach screen shot to Case # 11240. SCIM or Imap worked on 9.04 but don't work anymore (10.04) Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Tried to apply alternate language input method (Amharic/Ethiopian). System/Prefernces/Keyboard -layout-add... However when you start typing you cannot input correct characters (some English characters a, o, still persist). The Keyboard map for country=ethiopia confirms this finding. I.e. cannot be used to enter Amharic. E.g. aደiሰ aበeበao SCIM worked well in 9.04 but is not working for me now (Lucid 10.04). Ethiopic/Amharic Amharic and other languages of Ethiopia are written in a syllabary with too many symbols to fit on a simple keyboard. However, it can be typed in an IME. One types a base syllable, then a vowel, to get the syllable with the consonant from the base syllable plus the specified vowel. This is the basic keyboard layout. ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [ ] ቅ ው እ ር ት ይ ኡ ኢ ኦ ፕ [ ] \ አ ስ ድ ፍ ግ ህ ጅ ክ ል ፤ ዝ ሽ ች ቭ ብ ን ም ፣ . / The syllable and vowel letters combine as in the following example.
