The current case is already as you describe. Input methods and keyboard
layouts are quite separate from the translation metapackages. All of the
keyboard layouts are installed already on a fresh system; input methods
for Chinese and the like involve installing scim and related software.
None of this has anything to do with the translation packages.
For instance, I personally do some occasional typing in greek, hebrew,
or Japanese, and also frequently need to use latin-language diacritical
marks. For greek and hebrew, I simply add the greek and hebrew layouts
to my available layouts, in Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts. I also
configure in the Layout Options tab, keys to switch between layouts, and
a Compose key so I can hit <compose key> ' e to produce é. For Japanese,
I've installed scim-anthy, scim-gtk2-immodule, scim-qtimm, and im-
switch, and use im-switch -z en_US -s scim to enable it (takes effect
when I log out/back in).
Since this behavior is already in place, I'm closing this bug out.
Thanks!
