Introduction

This article explains how to install the SCIM (Simplified Chinese Input Method) together with enough Japanese resources to enable Japanese input on your desktop (GNOME 2 in this case). SCIM is a software that can run as a daemon in order to enable special, on the fly, character substitution while you type something on a normal keyboard.
