I prefer the manual way because I've gotten so used to it, but suspect the vast majority who want to use it as a desktop would much prefer the gui tool. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

I am able to switch between Chinese and two western languages in terminal sessions but not in GUI applications such as LO, Thunderbird, Firefox... Only the default language works in these GUI applications. What setting in fcitx might I be missing? Thanks.

I do remember in an older version of FreeBSD, to get it to work in firefox, I would use LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox from a terminal, and it would then work. I never figured out why (it worked with other GTK apps such as libreoffice. Hrrm, I don't think I tried in Thunderbird. Ah, also, in my .xinitrc (I boot into text mode then run startx I have, above the line calling the window manager export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Do you have fcitx-gtk2 and fcitx-gtk3 installed? I repeat, I'm not an expert on this, my skill is in googling and finding out how others got it done, then just copying that and summarizing it. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
