Not to mention the extra work created for localizers if they have to
maintain two forks... it would be like the OpenOffice / LibreOffice mess.
I must admit I understand very little about the technical arguments put

Kotoeri is the default IME on OSX for Japanese, it offers, amongst other
things, Latin to Kana/Kanji conversion. This is what should happen:

I tested Pinyin (stupid machine can't do Cantonese, bah) and it sort of

What does not work well is the alignment. In other programs (again,

I've asked before but maybe it got missed because it was a double-barrel
