At least for Japanese, the input system is not active by default when starting
GNOME with a French or English locale. One has to enable it, for instance with
im-switch. I do not know how invasive are other input sytems. But if they are
not, I thing that they could be part of a ‘I have disk space’ i18n task.
I would not mind spending a couple of gigabytes if this would make my computer
ready for use for anybody on this planet. For this, we need also to install
most translations available. This is one of the rare things I miss from
Macintosh. I always feel sorry that, while when I borrow a Mac I can switch it
to French, when I lend my Debian, people can not switch it to Japanese unless I
prepared it in advance.
Have a nice day,
