My initial thought was to set it for the default language, i.e. the language specified at installation time. The code I have written to do this is as follows:I am curious about how you are going to set im-switch though. Are you going to set them just for several specific languages? Or are you going to set the all_ALL (pseudo-)locale setting? Or is there another way to set it for all languages that I don't know?
# use im-switch to set up the scim environmenttmplang=${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-${LANG}}}
tl=${tmplang%%.*}
update-alternatives --install /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/$tl xinput-$tl
/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-immodule 50
im-switch -s scim-immodule -l
$tmplang
Not sure if this is the best way to do it though. all_ALL would probably ensure scim-immodule is still used even if the user changed his locale. Again, I am open to suggestions.
