Traditional Chinese Input in Haiku (Alpha 3)

I was wondering if there is a way to input traditional Chinese characters in Haiku? I know there already exists a method for Japanese. At the same time I doubt about the existence of a programme for Chinese (traditional) input?

I am a Linux (Fedora) user and currently use IBus 1.4.0 for writing Chinese (traditional) using Bopomofo.

I am not a programmer or an expert on computers, therefore I would appreciate if you could keep your answers as simple as possible but no simpler.

Thank you all for reading and caring to respond! :slight_smile:
我謝謝你們!(^_^)

I once used Fireinput in firefox, or its variants when they supported it. (http://www.fireinput.com/contribute.html). And you can also know about the status by visiting:

Will Haiku in a virtual environment also help?

Until there is an input method for Chinese in Haiku, user may be interested to know that there is a website which supports Chinese input direct without the need for installation into the OS. Currently there are four common input methods that are offered: Cantonese, cangjie, “quick” and pinyin.

http://www.inputfree.com/, functioning as a portal, which further subdivides as four independent websites:

We have Chinese IME for Haiku in the HaikuPorts repository. On a recent nightly, pkgman install becjk should do the trick. Either ctrl+space or alt+space switches IME, I believe. If you need help getting it to work, please do reply :slight_smile:
