I need help!
I want to have english interface on my X with capability to input and display chinese. for example, I want my gnomeicu to have chinese interface while I can type chinese message to others. I have tried playing around with LANG and LC_ALL, it does not work. either I cannot input chinese at all, or all menu items and message display in Chinese. Can anyone help me? Thanks!!

after reading some previous post, I got it halfly working:
originally, I started the chinese input (scim) with LANG="zh_TW.Big5" so any programs needs to be chinese input supported required LANG="zh_TW.Big5" as well. Most programs will display everything in Chinese with this.
now, instead of using LANG, I put LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.Big5". so any program need to be chinese input supported, LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.Big5" will do, and it won't change all the interface into chinese.
however, it only works to programs like mozilla. for gtk programs (ie gnomeicu), they are still not working. I need to put in LANG="zh_TW.Big5" in order for it to support chinese input. Again, it display all menu in Chinese.
Anyone have any idea why? Thanks!! |

Hi,
It is my pleasure to drop into this forum. I am searching around for how to input Chinese on English Gentoo 1.4. Could you please shed me some light from where to start.
Thanks in advance.

I have tried the following which I managed to have English interface with the ability to enter Chinese in Gtk application:
and I placed the following export statements in my .bashrc:
| Code: |
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN
export XMODIFIER=S"@im=fcitx"
export XIM=fcitx
export XIM_PROGRAM=fcitx
