[I switch to enlish for the non german speaking participants] [Ich wechsle auf englisch für nicht deutschsprachige Teilnehmer, ich hoffe, das verstehst Du auch] The problem with Korean and SuSE 9.3 is, that you can configure a korean keyboard layout, but loading it results in an error. The command KDE tries to execute is: setxkbmap -model inspiron -layout ko This results in the error message: Error loading new keyboard description In older SuSE Linuxes, it did work, then with a KDE update, the korean keyboard layout disappeard completely from the list of available layouts in KDE (I think, that was in SuSE 9.2, but with an additional apt-Upgrade of KDE). Now the layout is back again, but it does not work. Mike: Do you know anything about it? I've seen, that there was recently a korean subject in the mailing list, but I did not read it. Was it about the same topic? > Hangeul zu lernen schafft man in einer Stunde. Ziemlich > genial Entwurf, glaub' ich.) Yes, Hangeul is really genious, it's simple and it fits very well to the Korean (and only to the Korean) language. > Wie es auch sei, ich glaube man koennte Koreanisch > (Hangeul) in Software immer als alfabetisch betrachten; > der Syllabenentwurf ist nur chinesisch beeinflusste > Esthetik. Yes, similar to Indian or Semitic languages, Hangeul is alfabetical and only combined for reasons of beauty. Me too, I think languages like Korean (or Hindi or Arabian, but also Japanese Kana) do not need a special input method, they could easily be mapped on a normal keyboard. Unfortunately, actually I need SCIM / SKIM to enter Korean. But with this it works well. Arabian and Russian still work with the respective keyboard layout.
