Typing Korean with #!

Hey, been on Ubuntu for a while and just coming back to #!. Was wondering if there's any easy way to get Korean working. Followed several tutorials, so far I've installed the Korean fonts and can read them well. Installed SCIM and have it sitting on my panel. However I believe it may be configured wrong.

I've got the toggle language as Right_Alt however after pressing language does not happen (using Chrome). If anyone have easy to follow tutorials or tips I'd appretiate it.

Thx

Re: Typing Korean with #!

Hey again,
a bit more details. I'm not 100% what my language is set to. It's english (canada) maybe tried to change it to en_US with no luck. Finally had to resort to adding setxkbmap US to autostart.sh to be able to use all my symbols (!@#$%^&*())

Also for the Korean issue in SCIM > Global Setup > Keyboard Layout there is no dropdown for Korean, however it was selected to "unknown" as default. It's weird cuz all the other east asian languages are showing up such as chinese, japanese, etc.

Seems language support for #! is alot more complicated than for Ubuntu

Re: Typing Korean with #!

I don't use SCIM anymore.  From my experience IBUS works much better, and I switch between Korean and English all the time.  If someone else doesn't help you out by the time I get home from work, I'll post on my own set up when I get to my #! machine.

I looked it up quick, and I think the other package you have to install besides IBus is ibus-hangul.  After you do that, the tray icon should pop up after a restart, if I recall correctly.  Then you can just use the gui to set up Korean in it.  Then it is as simple as turning it on and off to switch between Korean and English (I think ctl-space is the default hotkey).

Re: Typing Korean with #!

I'm using the other way.

install below packages.
- nabi (Automatically set libhangul0 & libhangul0-data together)
- im-switch
- ttf-nanum
- ttf-nanum-coding
- ttf-unfonts-core
- ttf-unfonts-extra
- ttf-alee
- ttf-baekmuk

After installation, open terminal.
Excute 'im-switch', Select 'nabi'

reboot or logout & login.
You can find 'nabi' icon on right-bottom corner. In nabi menu, you can change 'Hangul key' & more.
