Hi, everybody!

I found a extension named 'scim-bridge' is a SCIM bridge client for GNU
Emacs.
And it can use SCIM to input CJK languages.

It's homepage:
http://www11.atwiki.jp/s-irie/pages/12.html

It's screenshoot:
http://www11.atwiki.jp/s-irie/pages/14.html.

And i have configure it along with author, but i can't make it work with
Chinese.

And anyone know how to make it work with Chinese?

Or anyone know Japanese can tell me author's email? I can't understand
Japanese. Author's name is S. Irie.

Thank you very much! :)

Andy.

Hi,

Sorry, I have not written the documents other than Japanese yet.

Did any error messages come out?

I guess that you don't use scim-bridge, which was originally developed
in order to solve the C++ ABI problems.
scim-bridge.el communicates with SCIM through the scim-bridge agent
using UNIX domain socket, therefore it can not work without the agent.
Is scim-bridge installed?

Or, you might don't inhibit XIM from taking over the key events.
To do this, for example, add a line into ~/.Xresources file:

Emacs*useXIM: false

And execute the command in a terminal:

xrdb ~/.Xresources

or restart X server.

Please report again if it doesn't work well.

Hi, Irie!

I have install scim-bridge.

And I have write ~/.Xdefaults (I think this file have same effect as
~/.Xresources) with:

Emacs*useXIM: false

Then xrdb ~/.Xdefaults

And I configure scim-bridge with:

(require 'scim-bridge)
(require 'scim-bridge-ja)
(scim-define-common-key ?\C-\ nil)
(scim-define-common-key ?\C-/ nil)
(setq scim-adjust-window-x-position 'gnome)
(scim-mode t)

And everything looks okay.

But when I use functions `scim-anthy-reconvert-region' and
`scim-transfer-romaji-into-preedit', it's can't work.

`scim-anthy-reconvert-region' will get message:

"SCIM: is undefined"

Hi, Irie!

Thanks for your replay. :)

I use scim-pinyin for Chinese input method.
And I have to setup your recommend configuration.
But i can't input anything Chinese.

Now many key is binding function `scim-handle-event' (like 'a', 'b',
SPACE, etc.)

Can you release develop document about how to write scim-bridge
interface to other LANGUAGE?

I want to help you to write `scim-bridge-zh.el' !

Regards.

Hmm ... It is strange that you cannot input anything in Chinese. When
I tested scim-mode on Linux distributions (Ubuntu 8.04 and Fedora 9,
etc.), it worked without trouble by using SCIM-pinyin in any case.
This problem might not depend which language you use.

Sorry, I cannot find the cause of the problem, with only the
information which was shown up to now. I would like to know the more
detailed situation.

Here are some questions I would like you to answer:

* Did you set the keybinding for `Trigger' in the `Frontend' section
of `SCIM Input Method Setup' tool to any key event other than Control
+space? Otherwise, you must remove `(scim-define-common-key ?\C-\
nil)' from .emacs file in order to be able to start SCIM.

* Do any error messages come out by loading/using `scim-bridge.el'? If
so, what kind of errors are they?

* What value is bound to the variable `scim-imcontext-id'? If the
IMContext is registered successfully, its ID number is set to this
variable as a string. (ex. "5", "12", etc.) Otherwise, the value keeps
nil and any key events are not sent to SCIM.
