Summary: running windows IME modules under wine Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://tools.google.com/pinyin/ OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gaofeng.huang@balliol.ox.ac.uk
There are quite a log of windows input method modules (IMEs) has no linux port.
two steps are involved here: 1) implements ime-related APIs to make it run. 2) using the wined-IME to input character to normal(non-wine) X11 program. I think this is hard and related to the general IME/XIM infrastructure. Hence I fired this bug here.
As a example, we can tried the newly released Google-Pinyin http://tools.google.com/pinyin/ (in case you cannot read chinese, the BIG blue button in the right side is for downloading) Huge numbers of chinese users are waiting. Thanks.
