Japanese worked great BUT Ibus seemed to break keyboard input renaming files in Nemo. I uninstalled it and Nemo is working again.
En mi caso, lo que necesitaba para poder escribir en japonés (o cualquier otro idioma que necesite). Fácil configuración en preferencias de Ibus, método de entrada y seleccionando el idioma que deseamos. Luego sólo es cuestión de alternar el idioma con ctrl+espacio y listo.
I installed this unknowingly, probably along with font packages, I dont have any real need for it, as i understand it. I can see how beneficial it can be, however, to many people. I have qiana and this ibus version is extremely easy to use, configure. I tried it and if i only could type in those other languages...
iBus updated in Mint 17 and LMDE UP8 adversely affects menu indication of Chinnamon.
mint 16 x64 mate: slightly tricky to set up, but now works perfectly, and uses hangul key. using it to type hangul on eng language mint.
Cool! Works for me, but it somewhat slow and I don't like how the text I'm inputting gets highlighted before I move the cursor.
I use it all the time for Chinese! It's the only input method I've gotten to work so far, and it has been great.
