1. gcin ONLY: Taiwanese's speed-typing habits in Chinese only fits with the gcin order of character appearance in the input menus. - gcin doesn't install well, depending on the distro. 16.10 broke it, hence this email. - the app search fuzzy overlay in Unity hides the gcin menu selector - fix: have fcitx adopt a native option that clones gcin's speed-typing order (exactly) for Taiwan, or make gcin native with fcitx as an installed second option.
There are currently two IM frameworks which are integrated with the Ubuntu desktop: IBus and Fcitx. The latter is the default framework for CJKV languages in 16.04+.
It should be possible to use other IM frameworks, including gcin. If gcin is broken, can you please elaborate (preferably in a bug report) on what the problem is.
I leave it to people who speak Chinese to comment on the claimed preferences of Taiwanese users. (I thought that Fcitx was a decent option also for Taiwan Chinese.)
2. Taiwan Chinese language packs don't install until visiting the Language settings, after install. These are the packages: fcitx fcitx-ui-qimpanel libreoffice-l10n-en-za fcitx-table-cangjie language-pack-zh-hant fonts-arphic-uming libreoffice-help-zh-tw libreoffice-l10n-zh-tw thunderbird-locale-en-gb fcitx-chewing fcitx-pinyin mythes-en-au fonts-arphic-ukai thunderbird-locale-zh-hant libreoffice-help-en-gb thunderbird-locale-zh-tw libreoffice-l10n-en-gb language-pack-gnome-zh-hant firefox-locale-zh-hant hunspell-en-ca ...Sure would be nice if choosing Taiwan's Chinese would include these on install.
The Taiwan Chinese language support is included on an Ubuntu install if you in the installer select Traditional Chinese as the language. If you don't, yes, you need to install them via Language Support. Isn't that a reasonable way to handle it?
