As of today, the ibus-libpinyin package has replaced ibus-sunpinyin. This is a move in the right direction. (Finally !) However, the default Chinese input still points to ibus-sunpinyin, resulting in users unable to input Chinese characters, even when selecting (simplified) Chinese locale during

@Ping-Wu: Right, the ibus-libpinyin package provides both an "intelligent Pinyin" and a "Bopomofo" input method. Yeah, suggested improvements is certainly another "thread". ;) This is actually a bug report with a very specific adminstrative purpose. If you want to discuss improvements, I think the

Thank you so much Gunnar! just a minor comment. ibus-libpinyin can also be toggled to input traditional Chinese characters (繁體中文)from the default simplified Chinese (简体中文)。People who live in Taiwan may prefer to use "bopomofo", which, as I understand it, uses the same engine as ibus-libpinyin but
