To type Japanese characters... I would need? Japanese keyboard? Probably not going to happen, so...
Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Check 'install files for East Asian languages' -> Details -> Add keyboard from 'Japanese' in the drop down menu

This thread is now over. I'm just exploiting it for a KAMI while it's at the top.
i've trying for quite a while to figure out how to set up my computer to type japanese in kde...
anyone know how to do it?
switching to windows is not an option (at least not until i can run kmail, konqueror, kopete, koffice, amarok, and gwenview on it without having to muck about with cygwin).
> the anthy/uim combo should work. Also, skim (http://www.scim-im.org/projects/skim) is a KDE-specific solution if you want total integration.
i already tried that uim/scim/skim stuff... both scim and skim hang indefinitely when i try to start them...

An IME, and the best part is that it's free.
noob
While we're sort of on the subject, does anyone know of a Windows AIM client that will input and receive Japanese text correctly? All I can get is ?????'s. I occasionally receive Japanese correctly, but I think it is only from Mac users. I would just try out all the clients out there, but I'm on dial-up :_(
>>7 you need to make sure that the version of gcc that what used to compile firefox is the same version that was used to compile scim
Pretty much all spam posts contain "a href=". It's a quick catch-all for spam.

gaim[1] is the only one i know of.
i like kopete[2] better, but you can't use it on windows unless you use cygwin[3]...
>>11
it is the same version. i only have one version of gcc installed (3.4.4) and i compiled and installed a new version of firefox right before i compiled and installed scim the first time.

Thanks, the interface is a little ugly but gaim does the job.

You can also use wordporcessor + dictionary like Wakan to type japanese, given that you have japanese font installed on your system.

Cool idea indeed! If anyone posts german things, I'd be happy to try to correct some stuff.
if you have xp, just go control panel>regional and language settings>languages>details>add language
or osmething
youll have a language toolbar and can switch between jap input and english input
eg typing de with jap input on set on hiragana = で

I think this is the first time I've seen the word "castigate" used on the internet
In .Xsession (or .xinitrc, or whatever):
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
scim -d
Make sure you have scim installed though (and kanna or something). I haven't for the life of me been able to get it to work with KDE/Qt apps though. Any hints?
>>28
canna (not kanna btw)
I prefer using kinput though (though there are iiimf and scim).
btw just copy/paste settings when X runs under LANG=ja_JP. To keep using english environment you can set LC_CTYPE to ja_JP, while keeping other LC_* to en_US.
This one is for fedora:

Though the guide is for iiimf, with some tinkering, you can use kinput instead of iiimf.

you need to get skim - the IM for kde. I use kubuntu dapper and it comes already installed, you just need to configure it to
> In .Xsession (or .xinitrc, or whatever):
and download anthy for scim
I installed the Japanese typing thingy and it won't work.
I'm pretty sure trillian can view Japanese characters as well.
