IIIMF and Language Engines

This feature is included in the Solaris 10 11/06 release.

The Internet Intranet Input Method Framework (IIIMF) has been upgraded from revision 10 to revision 12.

This framework provides the following new features:

• Input Method Switcher — Displays input method status and switches input languages. You can add the input method switcher to the Java Desktop System (Java DS) panel. Select Add to Panel -> Utility -> Input Method Switcher to add the input method switcher to the Java DS panel.

• Utility for iiim-properties — Supports various input method preferences. Use one of the following methods to start the iiim-properties utility:

  • Select Launch -> Preferences -> Desktop Preferences -> Input Methods.

  • Click mouse button 3 on the Input method switcher and select Preference.

  • In the CDE environment, select Tool -> Input Method Preference from the CDE main menu or type iiim-properties at the command prompt.

Each language engine has also been upgraded to the IIIMF revision 12 base. The Japanese language engines, ATOK12 and Wnn6, have been updated to ATOK for Oracle Solaris and Wnn8 respectively. ATOK for Oracle Solaris is equivalent to ATOK17. A new Chinese chewing input method has also been added to the IIIMF.
