I am trying to have the ability to input Chinese tones directly into text editor in Ubuntu 18.04. I have installed ibus-pinyin and ibus-m17n packages but I cannot find in Region&Language input picker the hanyu pinyin
input method, there is only Chinese, Chinese (Bopomofo), Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin), two WuBi variants and that's it.
In here https://askubuntu.com/a/735139/886864 or https://askubuntu.com/a/728506/886864 it is said it should have Chinese (hanyu pinyin (m17n)) but I cannot find it.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install something else in 18.04?
ibus-m17n
, it's a general thing that a relogin/reboot is needed before the new method(s) will be recognized in the settings. If you think it's motivated, please fell free to submit an answer yourself. It's perfectly fine to answer your own question, and in a couple of days you'll be able to accept it too.
