im-switch provides the framework to configure and to switch the input
method on X Window System depending on the locale. This input method is
the essential mechanism for Japanese, Chinese and Korean (CJK) language
to enter their non-ASCII native characters.
Some input methods such as SCIM support not only one of these CJK
languages but support almost all languages simultaneously by
dynamically switching keyboard modes with GUI.
By installing this package, the most desirable input method and its
backend conversion engine are automatically configured with both XIM or
IMmodule mechanism.
You can further customize your input method with 'im-switch' command.
