| === Language Coverage ===
| |
| Fedora features a variety of software that is translated in many languages. For a list of languages refer to the translation statistics for the '''Anaconda''' module, which is one of the core software applications in Fedora.

| ==== Language Support Installation ====
| |
| To install langpacks and additional language support from the ''Languages'' group, run this command:
| |
| | |
| <pre>su -c 'yum groupinstall <language>-support'
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In the command above, <code><language></code> is one of <code>assamese</code>, <code>bengali</code>, <code>chinese</code>, <code>gujarati</code>, <code>hindi</code>, <code>japanese</code>, <code>kannada</code>, <code>korean</code>, <code>malayalam</code>, <code>marathi</code>, <code>oriya</code>, <code>punjabi</code>, <code>sinhala</code>, <code>tamil</code>, <code>telegu</code>, <code>thai</code>, and so on.
| |
| | |
| ==== Online Translations ====
| |
| Fedora uses the [http://transifex.org Transifex] online tool to facilitate contributing translations of Fedora-hosted and other upstream projects by numerous translators.
| |
| | |
| Using [http://translate.fedoraproject.org the online web tool], translators can contribute directly to any registered upstream project through one translator-oriented web interface. Developers of projects with no existing translation community can easily reach out to Fedora's established community for translations. In turn, translators can reach out to numerous projects related to Fedora to easily contribute translations.

| === Fonts ===
| |
| Fonts for most languages are installed by default on the desktop to give good default language coverage.
| |
| | |
| ==== Default Language for Han Unification ====
| |
| When GTK-based applications are not running in a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) locale, Chinese characters (that is, Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji, or Korean Hanja) may render with a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts depending on the text. This happens when Pango does not have sufficient context to know which language is being used, due to the Han unification in Unicode. The current default font configuration seems to prefer Chinese fonts. If you normally want to use Japanese or Korean say, you can tell Pango to use it by default by setting the <code>PANGO_LANGUAGE</code> environment variable. For example...
| |
| | |
| <pre>export PANGO_LANGUAGE=ja</pre>
| |
| | |
| ...tells Pango rendering to assume Japanese text when it has no other indications.
| |
| | |
| ==== Japanese ====
| |
| The <code>fonts-japanese</code> package has been renamed to <code>japanese-bitmap-fonts</code>.
| |
| | |
| ==== Khmer ====
| |
| Khmer OS Fonts <code>khmeros-fonts</code> have been added to Fedora for Khmer coverage in this release.
| |
| | |
| ==== Korean ====
| |
| The <code>un-core-fonts</code> packages replaces <code>baekmuk-ttf-fonts</code> as the new Hangul default fonts.<code>un-extra-fonts</code> packages have been added.
| |
| | |
| ==== Complete List of Changes ====
| |
| All fonts changes are listed on their dedicated page:

| |
| | |
| === Input Methods ===
| |
| There is a new <code>yum</code> group called <code>input-methods</code> and ''Input Methods'' for many languages are now installed by default. This allows turning on the default input method system and immediately having the standard input methods for most languages available. It also brings normal installs in line with Fedora Live.
| |
| | |
| ==== im-chooser and imsettings ====
| |
| It is now possible to start and stop the use of input methods during runtime thanks to the <code>imsettings</code> framework. The <code>GTK_IM_MODULE</code> environment variable is no longer needed by default but can still be used to override the <code>imsettings</code>.
| |
| | |
| Input Methods only start by default on desktops running in an Asian locale. The current locale list is: <code>as</code>, <code>bn</code>, <code>gu</code>, <code>hi</code>, <code>ja</code>, <code>kn</code>, <code>ko</code>, <code>ml</code>, <code>mr</code>, <code>ne</code>, <code>or</code>, <code>pa</code>, <code>si</code>, <code>ta</code>, <code>te</code>, <code>th</code>, <code>ur</code>, <code>vi</code>, <code>zh</code>. Use <code>im-chooser</code> via ''System > Preferences > Personal > Input Method'' to enable or disable input method usage on your desktop.
| |
| | |
| ==== ibus ====
| |
| Fedora 10 includes <code>ibus</code>, a technology preview of a new input method system that has been developed to overcome some of the limitations of <code>scim</code>. It may become the default input method system in Fedora 11.
| |
| | |
| http://code.google.com/p/ibus
| |
| | |
| It already provides a number of input method engines and immodules:
| |
| | |
| * <code>ibus-anthy</code> (Japanese)
| |
| * <code>ibus-chewing</code> (Traditional Chinese)
| |
| * <code>ibus-gtk</code> (GTK+ immodule)
| |
| * <code>ibus-hangul</code> (Korean)
| |
| * <code>ibus-m17n</code> (Indic and many other languages)
| |
| * <code>ibus-pinyin</code> (Simplified Chinese)
| |
| * <code>ibus-qt</code> (Qt immodule)
| |
| * <code>ibus-table</code> (Chinese, etc.)
| |
| | |
| We encourage people to install <code>ibus</code>, test it for their language, and report any problems.
| |
| | |
| ==== Indic Onscreen Keyboard ====
| |
| Fedora 10 includes <code>iok</code>, an onscreen virtual keyboard for Indian languages, which allows input using Inscript keymap layouts and other 1:1 key mappings. For more information refer to the homepage:
| |
| | |
| https://fedorahosted.org/iok
| |
| | |
| === Indic Collation Support ===
| |
| Fedora 10 includes sorting support for Indic languages. This support fixes listing and order of menus in these languages, representing them in sorted order and making it easy to find desired elements.
| |
| | |
| These languages are covered by this support:
| |
| | |
| * Gujarati
| |
| * Hindi
| |
| * Kannada
| |
| * Kashmiri
| |
| * Konkani
| |
| * Maithili
| |
| * Marathi
| |
| * Nepali
| |
| * Punjabi
| |
| * Sindhi
| |
| * Telugu
