Re: Japanese input in Linux environment (fcitx-mozc)

[Maria Shinoto <maria@shinoto.de>]

Dear List members,

a lot of great hints, thank you all. I am living in Japan, it is 
morning, and I am following all directions at the moment.

In order to save your time, I write a short summary of the state now, 
and hopefully this evening or tomorrow, I can tell you what the result 
looks like.

1) The Japanese mailing list just answered, they told me how to use the 
Japanese input method from Emacs. It is clumsy, though, they do not 
recommend it themselves. Still, I have to test it; I could think of some 
additional caveats..

2) The LANG variable seems to be the problem, since I write on a 
basically German system with additional keyboard and language input. I 
will check this. Basically, I want to stay with a German system and 
write multilingual papers in Japanese or English mainly. Will test it 
all and report.


I think that sums it up, thanks a lot for now!

Maria
