I’ve ported SCIM to N770. It’s a just work version, many things need to be improved.
Click the icon below to install. UPDATE(2007-04-06):

Strong recommend to install firefly font (ttf-arphic-newsung)

Once installed, the default VKB will be replaced by matchbox-keyboard. Hit Ctrl+space to invoke SCIM.

忘了说了,怎么下载安装包装的中文字体,在用FBReader看书时它的标题还是英文的啊?我在朋友那想顺便直接上网装中文字体的时候,下载完了却说文件损坏,不能安装,请检查。

安装ttf-arphic-newsung时,770说”Unable to install. Installation file corrupted.” 不知什么原因? 我用的软件版本是SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM。谢谢。

What the application manager log says? Did you install the package by click the “install” link on that page?

Yes, I click the “install” on that page.
Here is the info from the Application Manager Log:

You need to remove “maemo.guoyong.org” from “application catalogue”, keep the maemocjk.garage.maemo.org.

Successfully installed this time. But I still have a couple of questions:
1) The keyboard has been changed. But I can’t find an option for keying Chinese characters. There is only an option for ‘raw code’ under ‘other’. How do I turn on Chinese input?
2) When I browse a Chinese page, I can see all the Chinese characters in the page, but not in the title bar. How do I solve this?
Thanks.

1) This seems to be a bug for 770 if scim-pinyin has been installed. I still don’t know its reason. Try to reinstall or make pinyin checked in SCIM setup program. Good Luck!
2) For title bar, you need to install a new theme “themes-zh-14pt”.

Title bar works ok now. Thanks.
I do have scim-pinyin installed. In SCIM setup, I can see ‘Chinese (simplified)’ and ‘智能拼音’. I tried to check either one of them. But no matter which one I checked, I can only get ‘other – raw code’ at the keyboard input. Hope you have a solution for this.

借问一下,除了SCIM之外还有没有别的输入法啊?这个输入法实在是太耗资源了。 我装完这个输入法,速度马上降了70%,然后就是很多特殊符号都找不到怎么输入了,非常不方便。

Recently , I have also been porting a program to N800.I have made the program work in the scratchbox in debian linux.But I ran into some problems when I parted the program into N800 device.It says the debian package is “unable to install. Incompatible package”.Have you ever encountered this problem?

我的770,安装scim-拼音正常,但是却无法弹出中文.
已经在设置中操作过很多次,也能看到关于拼音的设置,但就只是能输入英文.
还有安装了输入法后发现没有enter键了.
卸载后安装7M的scim大文件(有n多输入法,但是没有拼音)后能够却能正常使用.
是否有解决方案?

Hi, Wolfg,
Many thanks for your excellent work on SCIM on n800. the virtual keyboard is just like normal key board but with these keys missing:
1. [ ] { }
2. DEL Insert Home End PageUp/Down
3. Function Keys F1-F12
Is there any way to input at least [ ] { } ? without them, it’s impossible to write any script or C code. Thanks again.

Hi there,
As a new feature of the next release of MaemoCJK, you can switch to the original VKB at runtime. So you can write your code with it. But for the function keys F1-F12, is there any need for them?
