[Ubuntu 20.10] ~ How can I type in Japanese the same way as with Windows' "Microsoft IME"?
by Steamy_Steve from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59T4A)
In Windows 7, by installing the language input "Japanese - Microsoft IME", I can type in latin characters which will automatically change into hiragana (and kanji/katakana if I hit the space bar).
Much like a T9.
I'd like to have the same functionality on my Raspberry Pi 4 mounting the latest distro of Ubuntu (Groovy Gorilla).
It'd be very useful for a Japanese language course I'm attending.
I've found several tuts and forum threads by googling, but, while some were just utterly confusing, most seemed patently obsolete.
Is it possible at all?
If so, how?
Thank you.
