Hi Leon, Further to my last email I discovered the trick. After login as GNOME either Traditional or Simplified Chinese, on terminal started either LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter or LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter or LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit or LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit Chinese editing (Traditional/Simplified) worked. Because the small indicator did not popup, I have to try blindly to test the Language_input_section with <Ctrl+Space> and the Input_method with (Ctrl+Shift>. Secondly running "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim oowriter" following warning popup:- $ LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit (gedit:2749): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 769 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename != NULL' failed (gedit:2749): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 769 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): ....... ...... Running "LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit", following warning popup:- $ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit (gedit:2687): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 769 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename ! = NULL' failed (gedit:2687): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 769 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename ! = NULL' failed ..... ..... Any suggestion to fix the problem, making the Language_input_selector and the Input_method_indicator popup TIA B.R.
