@Nobuto: The fact that there is a Japanese remix with fcitx as default means that some Japanese users will be affected by the proposed 15.04 changes whether we like it or not.
Up to now, you have been able to decide the default IM framework per distro by having fcitx installed by default or not. fcitx has been installed by default in Ubuntu Kylin, and hence fcitx has automatically been the default IM framework. According to Ikuya the same is true for a Japanese remix. As from 15.04 fcitx will be installed by default for all users, and thus it will no longer be possible to determine the default IM framework per distro in the same way. I have no idea how many Japanese users install the Japanese remix and how many install standard Ubuntu, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430893 Title: [FFe] Install Fcitx for Chinese users Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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, as well as possible changes to im- config. 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. 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.
