German keyboard with scim?

[scimuser]

Hi,

I am using scim (ver. 1.4.7) with scim-bridge (ver. 0.4.15), scim-tables (ver. 0.5.8) and scim-m17n (ver. 0.2.2), all Linux Gentoo ebuilds.

I want to change my keyboard to German (I used to do this with KDE keyboard layouts, but that stopped working since KDE 4.0 and still seems to be buggy in KDE 4.0.3).

The SCIM menu (left mouse click on the SCIM tray icon) offers me to change to a French or Danish keyboard, but how difficult is it to change to a German one?

In the SCIM setup - IMEngine - Generic Table - Table Management I could install new keyboard tables, but does anyone have a German keyboard table? I cannot see this option in the menu.

I know that I could use Latin-pre or Latin-post and enter umlauts with e.g. "a, which I am doing at the moment, but it would be more convenient to have a true German keyboard.

Can anybody help me?

I have a similar problem using Suse 10.3/KDE 3.5.7 SKIM 1.4.5. libscim 1.4.7. when using "ja-anthy" for inputting Japanese. Even with the keyboard layout set correctly to "de" (viz: regional Unicode aa_DJ.UTF8) I still get the English keyboard (i.e. "y" and "z"; ) switched, which of course can lead to some nasty mistakes in the Japanese.
