N900 + SCIM (Japanese, Chinese etc. input)
 

I have been trying to find information whether this will support this, but it seems that there are no recent topics on the matter..

I have N810 and the input works fine on older OS versions (if you go to newest, it won't work), but I wonder if there are any plans to bring this up to Maemo 5/N900 ?

It seems that the maintainer of maemocjk is working HIM (hildon input method plugin) + IBus, so I hope we can use it.

Makoto is the person behind http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/

He is just as busy as many others in the Maemo team in these days of pre-release. By the way, since the last release he became a father, which as you know doesn't precisely help having more free time to hack.

The other day he commented that he is willing to push this to Maemo 5 whenever he finds some time. I'm sure that having cheering support and some offer to help will encourage him. :)

Answering lonelybug here in order to avoid repeated threads.

This question has been asked (and I believed answered) several times already in this thread. I don't have time to look for my answers but here we go again:

The problem is not displaying texts but text input. As you know, input of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean is not trivial. There is a community project attempting to make some of them work in the N900, as someone mentioned. Not yet available for the N900 but, then again, the device itself is still not in the shops.

Ah, look at this:

I can provide help for Korean part :)

HIM+IBus is cool news for me. Default Hildon IM provides FN/Shift lock, and has working Sym key, which is eventually disabled by installing third-party input method. I really miss that part, especially when entering very-long sequence of numbers and pipe(|)!

Oh, domaemon's project looks sweet!

Re: N900 + SCIM (Japanese, Chinese etc. input)
 

omg. I would love to have full Korean input support on N900.
btw, can it display Korean fonts by default? (not input, but just read)

maybe not, at least www.chosun.com is not displayed by default,
but there is Droid font in application manager,
and it supports Korean font.
(Web title bar is not displayed correctly)

Might be worth to MERGE this thread with http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34433 .

That site is using EUC-KR encoding, which is supported by Linux but not by default. You would need to specify the encoding manually and start MicroB up (not sure how, probably via console.)

The korean on this page:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html

should show up.
