You just need to install the Japanese IME packages using the language support in the settings and select iBus as your keyboard input method system. You can select the keys to press to change the keyboard layout or do it manually using the icon on the panel. For the rest of us that don’t use Ubuntu or its variants, you can probably find iBus in the official repositories of your distribution. You can make iBus autostart when you boot by adding ibus-daemon to your ~/.xinitrc. And you will probably want to add & to the end, ala: ibus-daemon & (also your windows manager might have it’s own autostart file, use that instead) that you can find in your Home folder.
+- If IBus doesn’t show up under “Keyboard input method system”, it may not have been installed automatically for some reason when you installed Japanese language support. Try opening a terminal and manually installing either ibus-mozc or ibus-anthy, and IBus should then appear as an option.
- Don’t forget to configure Qt for input in Qt apps. See this and this.
- For problems with other applications, see this.
- For the superior non ※buntu users: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internationalization/Japanese (recommended Input Method Editor: Mozc. There is a version of Mozc in the AUR for those on Arch Linux called mozc-ut which comes with the UT dictionary, adding 580,000+ words to the original, but be warned that compiling this version can take quite a long time.)
