Currently Haiku lacks input methods for CJK languages. There is a Japanese
keymap, but it just produces Latin script as far as I can see. It should
cover below input methods for starters:
Japanese:
- Hiragana (Kanji input through Hiragana)
- Katakana
- Romaji
Chinese:
- Simplified Pinyin, Traditional Pinyin (must have)
- Wubi (Simplified, Traditional)
- Zhuyin (Traditional)
There are a couple of more input methods, but Chinese, these three should
suffice in the beginning
Korean:
- 2-set Hangul
- Romaja
I'm not an expert on Korean typing methods, but these two should suffice
for the beginning.
Does anyone know any FOSS library that we could use for these input
methods? What about Linux?
