Hi,

I think you might want to try scim-chewing instead.
It also provides  hanyu pinyin mode.

Hi James / everyone,



  

2007/2/28, Zhe Su james.su@...:
    

Hi,
  I had a plan to develop a new version of smart pinyin input method
which
has both TC and SC dictionary, and I already finished part of the source
code. But recently I'm too busy to have time on this project. Hope I can
restart developing it in near future.
      

I wonder if any progress has been made on this?  As an intermediate student
of Chinese, I really miss this functionality from the Windows Traditional
Chinese IME.  So much so, in fact, that I usually use Windows in a VM if I
want to type anything longer than a few sentences in Chinese.

I appreciate that those of us who want to type traditional Chinese in hanyu
pinyin are very much in the minority, but the addition of a TC phrase
dictionary would make a *huge* difference.  I frequently find myself typing
something that I know how to say, but don't know which characters to use
for.  Sometimes I will even type the phrase (in Windows) just to learn what
the characters should be!

Is any further information available?

Thanks!

Simon

Thanks for your suggestion - that's much, much closer to what I was
looking for!  I thought I'd explored Chewing properly, but obviously I'd
managed to miss what, for me, was the major point of interest... :-[

I'm now much happier with the way I can use SCIM.  I have only one thing
left on my 'wish-list' - the ability to type this way without entering
the tone - occasionally I forget, and with a phrase dictionary it
oughtn't to matter too much.

Anyway, my Windows VM will see much less action now!

Thanks again,  謝謝,

Simon
