<tmdoc-title|Notes for users of oriental languages>
In order to type oriental languages, you first have to start a conversion
server which can be used in combination with the X input method and set the
environment variables accordingly. For instance, in the case of Japanese,
one typically has to execute the following shell commands:
<\shell-code>
kinput2 &
export LANG="ja_JP.eucJP"
export LC_ALL="ja_JP.eucJP"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
</shell-code>
You also have to install Japanese fonts. For instance, you may download the
<name|Ipag> fonts <verbatim|ipam.ttf>, <verbatim|ipag.ttf>,
<verbatim|ipamp.ttf>, <verbatim|ipagm.ttf> and <verbatim|ipagui.ttf> and
copy them to
<verbatim| \ \ \ ~/.TeXmacs/fonts/truetype>
After doing this, you may launch <TeXmacs> using
<\shell-code>
texmacs --delete-font-cache
</shell-code>
and select <menu|Japanese> from the <icon|tm_language.xpm> icon on the
first icon bar. If everything went allright, the menus should now show up
in Japanese and the current document is also in Japanese. Notice that you
may also select Japanese as your default language in
<menu|Edit|Preferences|Language|Japanese>. It is also possible to select
Japanese for a portion of text in a document using
<menu|Format|Language|Japanese>.
Inside a Japanese portion of text, and depending on your input method, you
usually have to type<nbsp><key|S-space> in order to start Kana to Kanji
conversion. A small window shows up where you can type phonetic characters
and use <key|space> in order to start conversion to Kanji characters. When
pressing <shortcut|(kbd-return)>, the text is inserted into the main
<TeXmacs> window. Pressing <key|S-space> once again returns to the
classical <TeXmacs> input method.
