| === Language Coverage ===
| |
| | |
| Fedora features a variety of software which is translated in [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages many languages] . For a list of languages refer to the [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/anaconda translation statistics] for '''Anaconda''', which is one of the core software applications in Fedora.
| |
| | |
| ==== Language Support Installation ====
| |
| To install additional language support from the '''Languages''' group, use ''Applications > Add/Remove Software'', or 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.
| |
| | |
| SCIM users upgrading from earlier releases of Fedora are strongly urged to install <code>scim-bridge-gtk</code>. This application works well with third-party C++ applications linked against older versions of <code>libstdc++</code>.
| |
| | |
| To add SCIM support to input a particular language, install <code>scim-lang-<lang></code>, where <code><lang></code> is one of <code>assamese</code>, <code>bengali</code>, <code>chinese</code>, <code>dhivehi</code>, <code>farsi</code>, <code>gujarati</code>, <code>hindi</code>, <code>japanese</code>, <code>kannada</code>, <code>korean</code>, <code>latin</code>, <code>malayalam</code>, <code>marathi</code>, <code>oriya</code>, <code>punjabi</code>, <code>sinhalese</code>, <code>tamil</code>, <code>telugu</code>, <code>thai</code>, or <code>tibetan</code>.
| |
| | |
| ==== Transifex ====
| |
| [https://fedorahosted.org/transifex/ Transifex] is Fedora's online tool to facilitate contributing translations to projects hosted on remote and disparate version control systems. Many of the core packages use Transifex to receive translations from numerous contributors.
| |
| | |
| Through a combination of [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/ new Web tools] , community growth, and better processes, translators can contribute directly to any 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.
| |
| | |
| === Input Methods ===
| |
| It is now possible to start and stop the of Input Methods in GTK applications during runtime thanks to the new <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>.
| |
| | |
| ==== im-chooser ====
| |
| With the new <code>imsettings</code> framework, <code>im-chooser</code> can now start and stop Input Method usage dynamically on the GNOME Desktop.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ==== SCIM hotkeys ====
| |
| SCIM now only defines trigger hotkeys for Asian languages
| |
| as in the following table:
| |
| | |
| {| border="1"
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Language'''||'''Trigger hotkeys'''
| |
| |-
| |
| |Chinese||<code>Ctrl-Space</code>
| |
| |-
| |
| |Indic||<code>Ctrl-Space</code>
| |
| |-
| |
| |Japanese||<code>Zenkaku_Hankaku</code>, <code>Alt-<code></code>, or <code>Ctrl-Space</code>
| |
| |-
| |
| |Korean||<code>Shift-Space</code>, <code>Hangul</code>, or <code>Ctrl-Space</code>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==== scim-python ====
| |
| This release adds the <code>scim-python</code> package, which allows writing Input Method Engines for SCIM in python.
| |
| | |
| ==== scim-python-chinese ====
| |
| The <code>scim-python</code> package also includes a subpackage <code>scim-python-pinyin</code> that provides PinYin and ShuangPin Input Methods for improved input of Simplified Chinese. The PinYin Input Method replaces <code>scim-pinyin</code> as the default input method for Simplified Chinese. The <code>scim-python-xingma</code> package provides a number of tables for other Chinese input methods.
