** Description changed: 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.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. + related packages on the CD image, as well as possible changes to im- + config.

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.
