@jakiman,
Thanks. I'll try to study what you said about Korean IME. It may take some time.

mscim-tables-ko should still be in extra-devel, I can see it here from my device.


Update:
I think scim-tables-ko is not really good designed for every language and IMEs. But I found there's a scim-hangul module. And I can try to add it to MSCIM framework.

But I still need your help. There're 2 toggle keys in scim-hangul, one is shift+space to switch between ascii input mode and hangul input mode, the one is F9, Hanja key. In the help, it says, "This key binding is to convert a hangul character to a hanja character."

My question is, is the Hanja key important when input Korean? You know, there's no F9 key in N900. Though I can set it to other key, I still want to make it easier. If it's not very important, I would prefer to disable it.

And all Korean guys here, I'm starting an open-sourced work to translate the build-in applications and UIs to other languages. Does anybody like to help to translate it to Korean?

@ firstfan,

Hanja isn't as important. Actually, majority won't ever use it or need it.
So as long as Hangul portion works, that is fine. No need for Hanja.
I'll definitely test out the scim-hangul once you make it available.

Also, I'm no developer but I can at least translate some stufff for you if you like. =)

I started a tranlation project here:
http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/...ations/c/main/
Korean language translation is not started yet, I copied all strings from en_US.
There're 6269 strings. gtk20.po and osso-cities.po are ok to use English. But still have 4990 strings. Not all of them need to be translated.

I don't know if anyone could help to orgnize the Korean translation work. If anyone start, I could upload the install package to extras-devel immediately.
Usually, I will update translations from that site and make a new package everyday and upload to extras-devel. Since we've only done zh_CN, zh_HK, zh_TW, so only these 3 packages are published now.

Such as for:

I would at least expect to be able to browse korean web sites but not sure.
If anyone can please test, I would greatly appreciate it.

btw, I've already pre-ordered 2 of N900's anyways.

--------------

UPDATE DEC 30th.
1. US version of N900 doesn't come with Korean capable fonts it seems. But if you install DROID fonts, it will display Korean for file names, xterm, media player, mp3 id tags, web sites in both Fennec and MicroB without issues.

2. If you don't want to install DROID fonts, just copy your own Korean font on to the memory card, launch xterm then use following commands. (use your own font filenames for the mv/cp command) You will need to reboot after this.

sudo gainroot
mv fontname.tff /usr/share/fonts
fc-cache -f -v


For Inputting Korean:

There are 3 methods:

1. EASIEST method. Online Korean IME. Go to below url using N900 browser.
http://www.try-to-be-mensch.de/korea...ime-korean.htm

You can enter english in the bottom box, then you'll see korean on top box. Then you can press copy button on the bottom right of the top box to highlight the text, then press ctrl+c from the N900 keyboard to copy. (or press copy button from the browser dropdown menu)

2. Use GNU emacs as per instruction in this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37242
Then you can type Korean in emacs, then copy/paste to wherever.

3. Use mscim which is available at extras-devel repository. (know about dangers of extras-devel)

Need to install:
- mscim
- mscim-modules-table
- mscim-tables-ko

The input works as if it's native but the Korean syntax is not fully correct yet. It tries to create a character using 3 consonents/vowels all the time and doesn't know about the smaller / larger characters. So you will need to manually press spacebar or enter to move to input next character. It's annoying but it's useable still. I hope this gets corrected. Also, this will disable the function+Sym key for inputting other symbols. Which means no tilda or pipe symbols unless you remap your hardware keyboard... (only way it to uninstall it from my experience)

More info is here: (do google translate)
http://www.ifanr.com/5882

3. Need to follow this project:
http://domaemon.blogspot.com/
Do any of these options work for Chinese input (pinyin)? Does anyone know which is the best option for Chinese??

@jakiman
The symbol input panel (Fn+Sym) is under developing.
Well, for the Korean input bug, could you give me more example? Since I know nothing about Korean charater and input methods. So, it would be better to give me some examples like which keys you pressed, and what do you purpose to have.
And are there any Japanese guys could help to test inputting Japanese?

Since I'm Chinese, I could only test and optimize it for Chinese input methods modules.
how do you input Chinese (pinyin => Hanzi) on the N900??

@HRZ
Install mscim-googlepinyin from maemo extras-devel repository
Restart your device. Then go into any input field, press "Ctrl+space" to swtich input mode. Now you can input Chinese.

I was wondering if you are still working on releasing the mscim-hangul module?
