Hi folks,
If it's not a single input source, I'd think it could be an idea to implement the languages tag besides language tag in that ibus compose file.

Currently, ibus-m17n is the default input method for Indian languages
in Fedora. ibus-typing-booster uses the same libm17n used by
ibus-m17n to support input for Indian languages and thus it can do
everything ibus-m17n can do. But on top of that, ibus-typing-booster
supports predictive input by remembering user input and by using words
from dictionaries. Therefore, ibus-typing-booster is a more useful input method
for these languages.

A better input experience for users of Indian languages.
How would I try this out in Fedora 29?
I see that I have ibus-typing-booster installed, but I don't see any
sign of it in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel input source
selection. Does ibus-typing-booster look like one input support for
each supported language, or does it look like a single input source?
It looks like a single input source. Here are some
screen shots how to add it using the GNOME "Region & Language" panel:
http://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html#adding-gnome
It is listed under “Other” in the GNOME "Region & Language" panel input
source selection.
That is because it use “<language>t</language>” here:
$ /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml
<engines>
<engine>
<name>typing-booster</name>
<longname>Typing Booster</longname>
<language>t</language>
<license>GPL</license>

At the moment, ibus supports only one language in the
“<language>t</language>” tag. And as ibus-typing-booster supports many
languages, “<language>en</language>” does not seem right, it would look
like it supports only English. So only “t” for “Other” seems appropriate
at the moment. But it is a bit hard to find in “Other” in the GNOME
"Region & Language" panel.
When ibus-typing-booster is first used, it defaults to dictionaries
and m17n-input-methods appropriate to the locale it is first started in.
/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/engine/itb_util.py contains the defaults,
for example for Marathi it has:
LOCALE_DEFAULTS = {
...
'mr_IN': {'inputmethods': ['mr-inscript2', 'NoIme'], 'dictionaries': ['mr_IN', 'en_GB']},
...
So when the locale is mr_IN.UTF-8 while ibus-typing-booster is first
started, it defaults to the two input methods 'mr-inscript2' (a Marathi
input method) and 'NoIme' (that is direct keyboard input, useful for
English) and the dictionaries for mr_IN and for en_GB.
This can be changed in the setup tool of ibus-typing-booster, one can
choose up to 10 input methods and 10 dictionaries at the same time.
Thanks!
Owen
