           Summary: Korean input does not function on Western keyboards
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 11
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: ibus-hangul
        AssignedTo: phuang at redhat.com

   Estimated Hours: 0.0
    Classification: Fedora


Description of problem:  Currently, there appears to be no way to enter Korean
via Ibus in a western keyboard.  For example, in scim, one could use the
"romaja" option and enter the letters "r" "a" and get the korean character "라" 
There is currently no similar feature for Ibus, which means one has to know the
Korean keyboard layout (most likely, only used by Koreans on Korean computers
in Korea).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:  Very.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start ibus (with ibus-hangul installed)
2.  type romaja characters
3.  You get Korean-keyboard-based garbage.

Actual results:  For the letters "r" "a" for example, the actual results are: ㄱ
ㅁ 


Expected results: 라



Additional info:  I believe this functionality can be achieved by returning to
old SCIM input method, using scim-lang-korean, scim-m17n, and scim-m17n-devel;
however, if Ibus is the new default and the preferred method, it needs to have
this very basic functionality added.  In the Japanese Anthy, this is standard
and works perfectly.  It's odd and frustrating that Korean has not been given
the same level of attention.
