[SCIM] help: scim 0.9.3 on whitebox linux

[Cougar]

Hi,

Barcelona is a wonderful place, one of my friend just
visited their and told me this, ;)

If you encounter any problem about scim-panel-kde
please do not hesitate to ask

In SCIM, if you put your mouse on each of these
settings, you can see some kinds of tooltips coming
up, I think that should be helpful. (Although
currently only a few settings in scim-panel-kde are in
the same case, I will improve the other eventually)

Yeap, in the net, there are so many articles or forum
topics about CJK input support, but few are in
English. But as to the SCIM website, I do think there
is only English version available.

I know only Chinese, and as far as I know, there are
more than 20 different kinds of input method for
Chinese. However, the most widely used one is called
something like "Pinyin": for Chinese, anyone know how
to use this without "learning" the input method. And
scim-chinese is such a "Pinyin" input method.

There is indeed an open sourced alternative to
scim-chinese: ccinput, unfortunately I can not find
where to download its source code and it is not in the
same level with scim-chinese ( I assume ;). So at
present, if your Chinese students only know "Pinyin",
then scim-chinese is your choice.

Regards,
Cougar
