A quick question: Does it require a language setting (LANG=ja_JP or
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP like the old kinput2), or does it work independent of LANG?
Sorry, I'm probably not quite up to date, but when I tried to play around with
it a couple of months ago I couldn't really find any answer to this question
in the documentation. What I read (there is a tutorial on the Redhat site
somewhere) seems to assume that one wants a complete Japanese system.
But in my case I would like a normal system with German language settings, and
only occasionally type some Japanese sentences, for example in e-mails. Is
this possible?
I never really got it to work anyway (at the end I gave up and stayed with the
old kinput2). To be honest, the info on
http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=30&page=1
is overwhelming but is there a simple howto that tells me what I have to set
up to get Japanese characters on an otherwise non-Japanese system?
Thanks!
Stephan
