Welcome to the Smart Common Input Method (SCIM) platform project, which provides not only a user friendly, full featured input method user interface for POSIX-style operating systems (including Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix), but also a development platform to make input method development easier.
Currently the SCIM project has a wide range of input methods (some may need other libraries), covering more than 30 languages, including (Simplified/Traditional) Chinese, Japanese, Korean and many European languages. Composing/Dead key support is also one of the built-in features. In addition, several projects have been established to design IMEngines for SCIM and others supply their own SCIM plugins.
Overview of the translations from the menu's added.
This release repaired the bootstrap and the compile with makefile.am.
The last release had problems with it, I think that it works now.
The last release added more then 40 tables to the input-pad.
A new stable version has been released with a patch for working with more than one monitor.
This release improves three existing tables and ads twelve new tables.
A new stable version has been released with thirteen new translations.
Thanks to shawn.p.huang, a python wrapper for SCIM is available now which is called scim-python. With the help of this binding, besides C++, it is now possible to write your input method in python.
A new stable version has been released with two important bugfixes.
It's a bugfix version of 1.4 stable branch. Lots of bugs have been fixed.
