Fedora 15, Japanese Input using iBus is easy.

おはよう!

That's right. Woah. Holy heck. That's Jappo text!

Since I'm learning Japanese for the potential time I might spend in that bizarro country on the other side of Tomorrow, I figure I might as well be able to type it, at least as well as my silly hiragana comprehension will allow.

This article can tell you how to do that in Gnome 3 on Fedora 15. It may work in other distros using Gnome 3 as well.

First, go to Activities

Type: Input Method Selector

Select: Use iBus

Go to: Input Method Preferences

Go to the second tab, Input Methods, and select the checkbox labelled "Customize Active Input Methods".

Go to the dropdown menu and choose "Select all input methods".

Go to the same dropdown menu again and select Japanese > Anthy.

I suggest also choosing an english-language input method to throw in there, so you can rapidly switch between the two using Alt+Shift

Log out, then log in again. You'll have an iBus window at the top of your screen! Select an input box somewhere and press alt-shift in order to get to Anthy. Press it again and you can switch to your English input method.

This also works for other input methods out there. Have fun.

さようなら。
