Missing m17n engines in iBus
by CVAlkan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ACP9)
Several of the m17n engines that I've used with iBus in the past are no longer available in Linux Mint 20, among them m17n:ar:kbd, m17n:el:kbd, m17n:he:kbd, and m17n:ko:han2 (Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and Korean); the details are available in a posting to the Linux Mint forum at https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtop...?f=47&t=334843, so I'll try to keep this short.
Although I am able to use PinYin for Chinese in Mint 20, a posting I found at http://www.pinyinjoe.com/linux/ubunt...nese-setup.htm suggested that in newer versions of Ubuntu and derivatives, it is necessary to generate locales in order for certain engines to become available. I seemed to already have locale definitions for some of the keyboards I was missing, and adding others made no difference. So that doesn't seem relevant.
Not unexpectedly, there have been no responses to my posting on the Mint forum, and the github page for the m17n project seems to be inactive. I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can obtain these missing engines and, if so, what I need to do to add them to my system.
Thanks for any pointers anyone can offer.
