Re: [Scim-user] Switchable input methods

[Paul Dorman]

Hi,

thanks for your response James. My apologies for not being more specific. The 
computers are running modified Mandrake 9.1 on x86 architecture. 

I would love to provide some help to the SCIM project, but I speak only one 
language and probably wouldn't be too useful! With the current directions 
taken by SCIM, will such dynamic switching of input method be possible?

Also, are there any plans to integrate SCIM with KDE and GNOME? It would be 
excellent if switching locale (in KDE for instance, which is done by clicking 
a flag icon in the KDE panel system tray) could automatically activate the 
appropriate input method.

I know almost nothing about internationalisation and input methods, so please 
forgive my ignorance of the technical issues. 

Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Paul Dorman.
