scoopy Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Have no idea what that program is but I would look in /usr/bin and try and find something there close to FreeWnn in its name and try running that from console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 According to google freewnn is a client-server based input system and freewnn is the server. I guess you need a client like kinput2. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) thanx for the info. i tried installing UIM instead, but the first time it didnt work. later i came across this site (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/5207/type_Japanese_on_mdk_02.html) explaining how to enter japanese text using UIM and anthy. according to URPMI i have everything installed, so the next thing to do (according to the site) is to edit that `/.i18n file. unfortunately, i dont have it. when i try to gedit it in the console, it says the file doesn't exist. what do i do? thanx again for the help.

devries Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Make it yourself....... :) rightclick in /home/<your name>, new, text file and name it .i8n (don't forget the '.', this means it's a hidden file). Copy and paste LC_MESSAGES=en_US ##CHECK THIS LINELC_NAME=en_US LC_NUMERIC=en_US LC_TELEPHONE=en_US GTK_IM_MODULE=uim-anthy ##CHANGE IT(the default translation engine) XIM=uim-xim LC_ADDRESS=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP XIM_PROGRAM=uim-xim LC_MONETARY=en_US XMODIFIERS="@im=uim-anthy" LANG=ja_JP ENC=eucj LC_TIME=ja_JP LC_PAPER=en_US LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US LC_COLLATE=ja_JP LANGUAGE=en_US ##CHECK THIS LINE this in your new .i8n. That should do it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
