Install Fcitx for Taiwan-style Mandarin typing input in Ubuntu

This installs fcitx on GNOME

  1. You must FIRST add Chinese Taiwan/Traditional in:
  • Settings > Region & Language > Manage Installed Languages / Language Support
  1. ? Optionally, set the language for your User Account Settings

If using Vrk, do not change your home folders to Chinese names since it is more difficult to type in the terminal

  • If you don't konw what Vrk is: never mind, but how did you get here you awesome web cralwer you!
  1. Ctrl + Alt + T (Open the Terminal)
sudo apt-get install fcitx fcitx-ui-qimpanel fcitx-chewing fcitx-table-cangjie3 fcitx-config-gtk

Some may already be installed, that's okay.

fcitx-qimpanel-configtool

Set to "Vertical", then "Apply", then exit

Below is less preferable, better is: Settings > Region & Language > Manage Installed Languages > Keyboard input method

im-config
  • Choose: OK, yes, fcitx, OK, OK

Check if installed correctly

cat ~/.xinputrc

It should include: run_im fcitx

If not...

echo 'run_im fcitx' > ~/.xinputrc

Then, reboot

reboot

(Yes, you really have to reboot, even for each user)

Add the language

Choose Either:

  • In Apps, search and run: fcitx Configuration
  • Click the fcitx icon > Configure

Then...

    • to add a language
  • Deselect "Only Show Current Language"
  • For Taiwan bopomofo select "Chewing", OK

All done! Have a cookie...
