I cannot judge on fcitx, but it was stated that GNOME3 has built-in support for iBus, so we have that in any case. The question "fcitx or scim" is just sort of a fallback.

So, for the input method question, I would propose to skip SCIM and move to
fcitx as in zh_CN.
Any objections or advocates?

tasksel: Input methods for chinese - (Was: Updating chinese-t-desktop in tasksel for Wheezy.)
Hi all,
I stumbled over this 5 years old bug regarding input methods for Chinese.
Could someone comment on how the status is here?
What input methods are needed these days?
Currently we have for simplified Chinese:
Package: task-chinese-s-desktop
Architecture: all
Description: Simplified Chinese desktop
This task localises the desktop in Simplified Chinese.
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
Recommends:
# Input method stuff
im-config,
fcitx,
fcitx-sunpinyin,
fcitx-googlepinyin,
fcitx-table-wubi,
# Fonts
fonts-arphic-ukai,
fonts-arphic-uming,
fonts-noto,
fonts-noto-cjk,
# Software help and localization
libreoffice-l10n-zh-cn,
libreoffice-help-zh-cn,
firefox-esr-l10n-zh-cn | firefox-l10n-zh-cn,
# Dictionary
goldendict,
# poppler-data is needed to display
# Chinese on poppler applications.
poppler-data
And for traditional Chinese:
Package: task-chinese-t-desktop
Architecture: all
Description: Traditional Chinese desktop
This task localises the desktop in Traditional Chinese.
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
Recommends:
scim,
scim-chewing,
scim-gtk-immodule,
im-config,
fonts-arphic-ukai,
fonts-arphic-uming,
# seems openjdk needs this to display Chinese.
fonts-noto,
fonts-noto-cjk,
libreoffice-l10n-zh-tw,
libreoffice-help-zh-tw,
firefox-esr-l10n-zh-tw | firefox-l10n-zh-tw,
# poppler-data is needed to display
# Chinese on poppler applications.
poppler-data
Is this working so far, or should things be improved, to close this bug?
Thanks
Holger
