Chapter 7. Enabling Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text input


If you write with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters, you can configure RHEL to input text in your language.

7.1. Input methods

Certain scripts, such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, require keyboard input to go through an Input Method Engine (IME) to enter native text.

An input method is a set of conversion rules between the text input and the selected script. An IME is a software that performs the input conversion specified by the input method.

To input text in these scripts, you must set up an IME. If you installed the system in your native language and selected your language at the GNOME Initial Setup screen, the input method for your language is enabled by default.

7.2. Available input method engines

The following input method engines (IMEs) are available on RHEL from the listed packages:
