[tlug] [tlug-digest] Re. Japanese-language on SuSE

[<Keith.Wilkinson@example.com>]

I installed 9.2J briefly before 9.3J but did not install 
the Wnn Japanese input software from the Japanese 
extensions CD;  I think you'll find the procedure is the 
same as for 9.3J : (1) install the system ( I installed 
it in Japanese, but English would probably work 
if you select Japanese as one of the languages 
to be supported.  It may be easiest to reinstall 
if you didn't select both English and Japanese 
as languages to be supported at install time. )  
(2) switch the desktop language to Japanese, then 
install the Japanese extensions CD.  Japanese data 
entry did not work when I switched the desktop 
language to English, but if you switch back to 
Japanese then it works again. 
To pop up Wnn (IME) to enter Japanese you 
hit Ctrl-space.  Hit Ctrl-space again and it's gone. 
It's that simple. 
You may have to register and get stuff by YAST 
update -- I have a magazine article on 9.2J and 
can dig it out if you get stuck. 
When you register your 9.2J you will be sent the 
email address for support.  Support should be quite 
good, but I'm not sure if they can provide English
support for Japanese 9.2J.
