Summary: Can not enable more then two input languages Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pavel1r@gmail.com
When I run windows applications with Wine, I'm only able to write in English. When I try to write in other language (I tried Russian and Hebrew), input is either ignored or I see blocks instead of letters, depending on application.
If I set LANG to ru_RU.UTF-8 or he_IL.UTF-8 before starting application, I'm able to write in two languages (either English and Russian, or English and Hebrew). There is no way to enable all three languages to work simultaneously.
I'm using Fedora 7 and Gnome desktop. I added both Russian and Hebrew keyboard layouts in keyboard preferences and I'm able to write in all three languages in Linux native applications.

--- Comment #1 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2007-10-11 09:43:40 --- More details from Pascha:
It is easily done on both windows and linux. ... in Fedora I have keyboard preferences application, which allows me to add keyboard layouts and define certain properties, for example keyboard shortcuts to switch layout. Once needed layouts are configured, I can type in any language and switch between them. With Wine, though, I can make only 2 languages to be available, third one won't work.
In windows, I can add input languages in Control Panel/Regional and Language Settings. ... Alt+Shift allows to switch input language. Or, there is a language bar in system tray.

--- Comment #2 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2007-10-11 10:42:03 --- First of all, what application is it? Can you reproduce the problem with 'wine notepad'?
Most likely a dup of the bug 735.

--- Comment #3 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2007-10-11 10:57:20 --- Yes, I tried it with notepad, too. Also, with IE6, Word (with latest Crossover Office demo).
I don't know if it is really a dup, since keyboard layout change is always detected and I can make it to work with 2 languages. It also detects change to a third language, just all I get is blocks (in notepad) or nothing (in IE). Still, I don't really understand how multi-language input works, so I may be wrong.

--- Comment #4 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-04-15 01:34:40 --- Is this still an issue in current (0.9.59 or newer) wine?
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
--- Comment #5 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2008-04-21 01:01:03 --- The behavior in 0.9.59 is certainly different. I can now write English and Russian in notepad without having to set LANG. On the other hand, I'm now unable to write Hebrew (I also tried Arabic and Greek) at all - all I see is blocks or some Hebrew-like letters unrelated to what I typed, regardless of LANG setting. So, I can't tell for sure if problem is solved or not.

Also, notepad now ignores Enter key at all.
Upgrade to Wine 0.9.60.

--- Comment #9 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2008-04-23 09:23:46 --- Tried version 0.9.60. As with 0.9.59, I can write English and Russian without any special settings, but not Hebrew (or Greek or Arabic). When I set LANG to el_GR.UTF-8, I can write in English, Russian and Greek. But same trick doesn't work with Hebrew and Arabic.
With Hebrew the behavior is really weird. When LANG set to he_IL.UTF-8, whenever I press a letter after an Enter, any other key generate the same letter, until next Enter. Then, I can write different letter on the new line, and any other key will also generate that letter and so on.
With Arabic, I had no success at all, but I probably lack some fonts. I guess, BIDI languages pose some additional difficulties.

--- Comment #10 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2008-11-04 09:49:27 --- In last versions of wine - 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 the functionality reverted to old one: neither russian or hebrew work by default.

--- Comment #12 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2009-05-07 07:58:51 --- I still don't have 1.1.20 here and I prefer to wait until fedora team releases it at least for rawhide, but in 1.1.18 it is resolved only partially: Running notepad normally allows to type English and Russian, but not Hebrew. Running with LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 allows to type all three languages.

--- Comment #13 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2009-06-14 02:44:44 --- Just tried 1.1.23 and it looks that it now works correctly at least in notepad. Haven't tried more apps yet.

I need to type in more than 1 language (for example english and arabic) in one text file in notepad of wine. I am using KDE and wine-1.1.24.
When i change the "input language" in KDE with Alt-Ctrl-K key , most of the keys in notep ad of wine will not display any character any others will type the "?" character. :-(
Please tell me in detail:
1 - How must i activate "input language" changing in wine ?
2 - After that, when i am running a notepad with wine , with what key i can change the "input language", or bring up "input language" icon of taskbar of Win-XP ?( that this changing can be done in Win-XP by Alt-Shift keys)
thanks

In any case all one needs to type more than just english - is correct locale in Linux (and that locale obviously is not an english one). For further help either use winehq forum, #winehq irc, or your distro support.

--- Comment #17 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2010-04-29 18:26:30 --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6 months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.43 or newer) wine?
