Language support

[mikwig]

Korean nabi auto download and setup for people who only select Korean
language support, scim for people who choose multiple.

but most important - autoconfig setup for nabi

(this is my wish list)

I second that~! :smile:
I've been trying to setup nabi for my girlfriend and what a pain.
Right now I've got a little red box with white in the center.
I click on the box and it shows Korean options.
I select the options.
And then type and it's all English.
Babo language support.

Hi Guys

not saying that this is perfect but this is how i got Korean input working with nabi on brezzy

Firstly full kudos need to go to these guys; http://rx78gd.egloos.com/m2005-11-01 if you can read Korean this site is a really good source of brezzy howtos; here it is verbatim from the above site;

1.나비를 설치한다.

$ sudo apt-get install nabi

2. 디렉토리에 sudo vi .gnomerc 하여 아래와 같이 입력했다.

export LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS="@im=nabi"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=hangul3f
export GDK_USE_XFT=1
nabi &

3. $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

4. 이곳에서 영문메뉴에서 입력만 한글로 사용할려면 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 를 선택하고, 모든 메뉴를 한글로 할려면 ko_KR.EUC-KR EUC-KR, ko_KR.UTF-8 UTF-8 를 선택한다.

5. 재부팅...^^

재부팅하고나면 나비가 뜰것이다. 이후 간단한 설정만 해주면 잘 나온다.

자세한 것은 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KoreanSetupH...=%28korean%29/ 를 참고했다.


If you can’t read Korean this is how i have done it;

1) You don’t really need all of these but it will give you all of the Korean goodies

sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-ko language-pack-gnome-ko-base language-pack-ko language-pack-ko-base language-support-ko mozilla-firefox-locale-ko nabi openoffice.org2-help-ko openoffice.org2-l10n-ko ttf-alee ttf-unfonts xfonts-baekmuk

2) Sort out your locals

sudo nano /etc/locale.gen edit it to look like this & save it

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
ko_KR.UTF-8 UTF-8
ko_KR.EUC-KR EUC-KR

then run

sudo locale-gen

3) in the home directory of each user you want to be able to input Korean you need to create a .gnomerc file

sudo nano .gnomerc

export LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=ko_KR.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS="@im=nabi"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=hangul3f
export GDK_USE_XFT=1
nabi &

Save the file “ctrl o” then “ctrl x”

4) & then reboot login & select Korean for your language & you should have an all Korean desktop. Nabi will start automatically & you just need to press “shift + space bar” to swap between Korean & English input

The only unresolved issue i have is even if you select English for your language some stuff is still in Korean, date & time, firefox menus etc

Dear Marc,
your advice concerning the use of nabi for korean input is excellent and finally helped us out of our problems of korean input under LINUX. I'm German, my wife Korean and I'm fond of the korean language. Near Frankfurt is a korean school and I (65 years old) am one of ist pupils. I'm a language fan in general. Thanks again an good luck to you, Peter Schloendorf
