|
| |
| <pre>su -c 'dnf install sazanami*'</pre>

| |
| ==Imput Method Engine==
| |
| Characters of the Japanese language are so numerous (thousands) that, of course, they cannot be laid out on a keyboard with only roughly 100 keys. Thus we have to use some software that will transform phonetically entered text into Japanese characters (kana or kanji). Such a piece of software is call an Input Method Engine (IME).
| |
| As the input method will not be the only one we want to use, we also need some software to manage all the input methods (occidental direct method, or mozc and anthy for Japanese). The method manager we will use is already shipped with Fedora and is called '''ibus'''.
| |
|
| |
| {{admon/tip| A Japanese IME, such as mozc or anthy, does much more than conversion phonetically entered text into characters. It is also able to parse long phonetic strings an convert them into words. This converting often ends in a lot of potential candidates to be proposed to the choice of the user. It is the richness of the underlying dictionary and the order in which candidates are ranked that makes the performance of the IME.}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Installing the Input Methods ===
| |
| You have to install at least one IME but you can install severals.
| |
|
| |
| To install '''mozc''', use the following command:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| su -c "dnf install ibus-mozc"
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
| To install '''anthy''' use:
| |
|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| su -c "dnf install ibus-mozc"
| |
| </pre>
