[tlug] CJK Input Methods

[Yasuaki Kudo <yasu@example.com>]

Hello!

I use Ubuntu as my primary work computer and it works well but there is one problem, the Japanese input.

I don't type Japanese often so I can get by with the really poor quality of Mozc in Ubuntu (latest version) .  But it makes me wonder how Japanese input compares to Chinese and Korean.   I want the Javanese input in Linux to work normally like Windows or IPhone, so we don't even need to talk about it!

I don't speak either Chinese or Korean so I don't know how they compare in complexity.

Nevertheless I am curious what their situations are for non-proprietary input methods?

After reading the article below, I thought Japanese input software development is potentially a very good thing to start.   But to do so with people power, one probably needs to make it possible to distribute the work to hundreds of thousands of volunteers?

The article I found describing the current state of affairs (in Japanese):
