As requested in bug 54646 I report this as a separate issue:
The current labels for the input methods are very short, e.g. "Deutsch"
(German). This makes the users think they have to choose this. It's not obvious
that the input method is only needed if a user does *not* have German umlauts
on his keyboard. But almost all German users have a German keyboard and
therefor should keep the "Native" setting or disable the input tools
completely.[1]
Unfortunately I don't have a perfect idea for a label. It should say something
like "Choose this if you don't have a German keyboard" but this is to long,
obviously. Maybe something like "Input helper for umlauts" or "Alternative
input for umlauts"?
Other input methods may have the same problem but I'm not familiar with these
languages.
[1]Which leads to an other question and maybe an other issue: What's the
difference between "Native" and "Disable"? Does this make a difference from the
users point of view except for the little keyboard icon next to the edit
window?
