[Bug 1430893] [NEW] [FFe] Make Fcitx default for Chinese users
Public bug reported:
There are currently two main supported input method frameworks available
for CJK users: IBus (current default) and Fcitx. Both are mature
projects, but Fcitx is better suited to Chinese users than IBus is, and
is already the default in Ubuntu Kylin. IBus is increasingly moving in
the direction of removing features upstream like tracking input state on
a per-context basis. Also, the leading input method provider in China
with more than 300 million users, Sogou, only supports Fcitx under
Linux. Skinning support is non-existent in IBus.
We've added support for Fcitx on the same level as IBus in Unity, so
this FFe is a proposal to make Fcitx the default for Chinese locales
this cycle, as a transition towards making Fcitx the default for all
users next cycle. The changes should simply be seeding Fcitx and its
related packages on the CD image, as well as possible changes to im-
config. Those who have explicitly selected IBus as their chosen input
method should be unaffected; these changes will only affect new users,
and users who have never explicitly chosen an input method framework in
their language settings.
** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
