Problems using ibus input method for Pinyin Chinese

Question

I am trying to use ibus-pinyin to input Chinese; but, I am having a problem.

The ibus input method always gives me unexpected Chinese characters.

For example, if I type "zhongwen", it doesn't give me the two characters "zhong" and "wen" as expected, but instead gave me “zang ongwen” （脏 ongwen). I can't find any place to choose the characters I want to use.

I tried to change the different Pinyin method such as double Pinyin and others, but all of them gave results like this.

Could any one help resolve my issue?

Answer 1

Is it similar to Why my ibus input can't type 'que' or 'qve' in Chinese? ?　It solved my problem (deactivating the low frequent character in the dictionary).

Answer 2

I had this exact same problem and really don't understand how that pinyin input works and why it does that. Using a different pinyin input fixed the problem for me:

sudo apt-get install ibus-libpinyin

Add Chinese - Intelligent Pinyin as input method and remove the normal Pinyin input method

Go to the settings for this input method and change pinyin mode to full pinyin.

Answer 3

There are three steps to solve this problem to me:

1.ibus-setup

2.Remove 'Pinyin' in the 'Input Method'

3.restart ibus and pinyin

 ibus restart
 pkill -x -u wang ibus-engine-pinyin
