According to my understanding, Gentoo doesn't need i18n. You just install Chinese fonts, setup font path or/and fonts.dir/fonts.scale, and set your LC_ environment variables. That's it.

没有i18n，LC_什么的怎么会起作用呢?

dreamdreams

Your application will read these variables. If the application doesn't support Chinese, or doesn't read these variables, i18n could do nothing. I guess i18n just supplies a standard place to config these variables. Actually you can set them anywhere you want.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

lucida

please "info libc"
and read the section "Locales"

basiclly, i18n does NOT means some file called "i18n" or sth like this, it stands for internationalization. the LC_ variables are just some configurable "interface" of it. The glibc has a full set of functions to handle all these things according to your locale settings.

dreamdreams

I meant .i18n files, not i18n mechanism. I simply don't have any .i18n files nor kde-i18n packages with my Gentoo box. My application interfaces are all English though they can still handle Chinese contents with LC_* settings.

lucida

oh. please refer to gentoo env.d guide

gentoo does not care about file name...and the i18n file is just another way to set your LC_ variables, in fact, a more elegant way

dreamdreams

I don't think local settings should be system wide. Coz different users in the system may have different native languages. So it's better setting them in particular user's $HOME/.bashrc or whatever place instead /etc/env.d/ .

Anyway, we are clear now.

yes, you are clear, but I'm not.

Did you mean that the package kde-i18n just provide us an international interface such as menus and buttons of KDE, and we don't need it to support Chinese programs?

Now I installed the simsun, simsun18030 and tahoma fonts on my computer, they works well and I can see the web page. But I failed in xsim:

#~>xsim
XSIM: failed create font :-*-*-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

Looks xsim can't find a font in my system to use for inputpanel and status panel. Why? Here is my /etc/xsimrc:

# xsim config file
XIM_NAME        "XSIM"

XIM_EXT_LOCALE  ""
#XIM_EXT_LOCALE "zh_TW,ja_JP,zh_CN.UTF-8"

        WORDDB                  worddb

        #maybe u need these key
        #PREV_KEY               "age_Up"

Yes I did.

About xsim, I have no idea though I've ever used it without problem. I recommend fcitx. Check it out, you will be happier with it than xsiim. You could also take a look at www.fcitx.org frist.

seraph_q

Thanks a lot. I downloaded fcitx-1.8.5.tar.bz2 from www.fcitx.org and make && make install it. After added

export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export XIM=fcitx
export XIM_PROGRAM=fcitx

in my ~/.bashrc it can start up, but seems it has been disabled. The WuBi icon is gray, and I can't active the input method by Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+1 or 2... Do you know how to fix it?

And also, can you tell me how to let fcitx automatically start when I start KDE? If I add it in ~/.bashrc it will run every time I start a terminal; I tried to add "fcitx &"  in ~/.xinitrc after the "startkde" command , together with the the "XMODIFIERS" environment variables, but it doesn't work.

Thank you again
