Hello,
I’m taking Japanese lessons online and I need to communicate with my tutor in Japanese via chat.
I’ve set my keyboard layouts in the KDE settings as English US, French Canadian and Japanese (default). But when I switch to Japanese, I still have an English US layout when I type.
I was expecting it to be more like in Windows where you can switch between Standard alphabet (Romaji), Hiragana and Katakana with a kind of an auto complete.
Am I doing something wrong?
The thing you’re looking for is called an Input Method Editor. The only one I’ve ever used on Linux is Fcitx which I really liked. I haven’t used it in a few years though.
This is the homepage for the current version.
