            Bug ID: 408626
           Summary: Please support pinyin (chinese) input natively
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: alex at polverini.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I need to add pinyin input to my system and I'm unable to: it's such a mess
that it's totally impossible to understand how to proceed.

Every distro packaging KDE has different instructions and there are so many
options that one is unable to understand what works or not, or what is better
than other.

EXPECTED RESULT

I expect to be able to add pinyin support (needed for more than 1 billion
chinese out there) in the control panel just as any other configuration.

I tried ibus, fcitx, fcitx5, xim, uim and some other random packages but
nothing worked: some of them are incomplete, some have no english translation,
some others conflicts and so on.

A complete and unusable total mess.
