Title: Japanese Input
Post by: Tomoe on January 22, 2006, 03:53:34 pm

Hello fine gents

How would one go about inputting japanese in Opie?
While Opie is great, I cannot go without Japanese input.

Thanks,
Tomo

Unfortunately, there is no open source input method for japanese available - hence we don't have one. I think I heard of people wanting to write something, but it doesn't look anything evolved yet.

Hi.(mu... Are you Japanese?  )

I made "ja.keymap" for opie-mlutikey.

Then, , can use a soft keyboard of the hiragana.

Put it /opt/Qtpalmtop/share/multikey/ .

[a href=\"http://www.naismith.sakura.ne.jp/temp/ja.keymap]ja.kyemap[/url]

I am investigating whether anthy and uim can be used on Opie now.

Both build can be done on Opie. The bridge of uim and Opie is necessary.

thanks.

Mickey,

FYI, there is actually an open-source IM for Japanese [a href=\"http://www.sikigami.com/cgi-bin/sikigami.com/anke-nnmqt1.0.cgi]here.[/url]  It's from a company called Sikigami, and although you need to fill out a questionnaire in order to download the code, it's GPL (I believe).

I had always intended to set up bitbake and try to compile it for OZ, but haven't gotten around to it.

What do you mean there's no open source input method for japanese? There's a bunch of them, SCIM, UIM and so on. Conversion engines too, Anthy for example.
There's a version of it for Zaurii too, 0.4.0 is supposed to work on Opie too, could you check: [a href=\"http://zaurus-ja.sourceforge.jp/imkit-anthy.html]http://zaurus-ja.sourceforge.jp/imkit-anthy.html[/url]

Thanks,
Tomo
