I earlier stated, that 'Installing Japanese (Anthy) under xfce is easy' (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/anthy-icon-panel-xfce), but I have changed my mind. For some reason I struggle to get it to work. I have support for Japanese installed and I have en icon for Anthy preferences giving me options to choose Danish or Japanese. But when choosing Japanese nothing changes. I can even still write the Danish special characters æ, ø, and å.

Please help me out of my frustrations!!! Onegaishimasu.

Did you switch it from latin to hiragana within Anthy? There should be another menu option in the menu when you're in Anthy mode.

I actually use GNOME and have never enabled Japanese input on Xfce, so I don't know the answer. But that's the first thing I would check.

Yeah, that is what I would do - and expect to be possible. Apparently there is no application for configuring iBus settings. All I can find is this iBus preferences (attached):

As you see, there is no option to choose e.g. hiragana

"Japanese - Japanese" is the wrong one. You need "Japanese (Anthy)" or something like that. Did you install the IBus Anthy package?

EDIT: Package name "ibus-anthy"

Thanks. I know, and I have been trying to change that - so far without luck. But, I have done something wrong in my earlier attempts, because now it works!.

「おんぽんよん」だ。

昨今その名をあまり使わない。「Julie.chan」(ジューリー丸ちゃん)か「The Diligent Circle」を使う。

Glad I could help!

「音本」だ。日本語のクラスのために作ったの。「4」も使う理由は6字があるユーザーネームだったね。

Which version of Trisquel are you using? I’m using 8.0 and I like the MATE desktop, but how do you install a different desktop manager (Xfce, etc.)? Is it just a matter of installing or is there a lot of configuration?
