This page describes which packages and configuration files need to be installed on Ubuntu for Korean to be supported.

For other languages, see DapperL10nSprint.

Requested for l10n sprint

Korean Keyboard problem (http://launchpad.net/bugs/30848)
- As of 2006-03-19, xkeyboard-config_0.8-1 has ko symbols file in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols. The xkb file was tested with ps/2 type 104 key based Hangul/Hanja keyboard.
- Need test results with usb type 104 key based Hangul/Hanja keyboard. We, ubuntu-ko and sprint team, strongly believe the ko symbols file will be fine with usb type keyboards if kernel passes keycodes correctly. If not, need to review the kernel patches ubuntu-ko provide.
- Relating to Hangul/Hanja keys with Input Method, ubuntu-ko will check users' requests and add the two keys for scim-hangul as activation key if necessary.
Enable skim module with scim-hangul 0.2.2 (http://launchpad.net/bugs/34472)
- This is in to-do list of scim maintainer.
Make ttf-unfonts as default font for Korean : as described in ["BetterCJKSupportSpecification/FontConfig"]
- As of 2006-03-19, language-selector_0.1.11 provides a improved fontconfig for Korean as [http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/bzr/langauge-selector--laptop/fontconfig/ko_KR ko_KR file] linked in [DapperL10nSprint/FontConfigPreferencesKorean]. More tests by users in progress.
Set DHCP with mac address (http://launchpad.net/bugs/26949)
- A script to set mac address for network interface had been attached to the bug. Asked sprint team to review possiblity of packaging on 2006-03-20.
language-support-ko failed to install with flight5 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/34784)

DapperL10nSprint/FontConfigPreferencesKorean contains an optimal fonts.conf for Korean use, as tested by the Ubuntu Korean community.

For en/ko dictionary, [http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ stardict] can be used. - stardict 2.4.5-1.1 in universe. Looking for en/ko dictionary data file under opensource license as well as other dictionaries for Korean.
Looking for a spell-checker for Korean under opensource license. (None in Ubuntu dapper)

- With kubuntu flight5, scim-gtk2-immodule not installed for scim-hangul as out of box. : This is due to kubuntu-desktop currently depending on scim-qtimm only. For that scim-hangul works out of box, scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-qtimm need to be depended by language-support-ko instead of ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop, but not sure whether this idea is good or not as concerns chain of dependencies for scim-gtk2-immodule under kubuntu.
- For the item 1 requested, the culprit of "keycodes 209 and 210 not passed" was fixed by xserver-xorg-input-keyboard_1.0.1.3-0ubuntu3 ([https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/dapper-changes/2006-March/007829.html changelog]) and successfully tested by the bug reporter.
