Because of this it is preferred for installing for languages that are not available by default in IBus, XKB or don't have a separate plugin that provides better functionality.

Installation

To install it, run:

root # emerge ibus-m17n

then restart ibus:

user $ ibus restart

then head to the ibus-setup GUI, open the Input Method tab, click on the Add button and search for the input method you want to add.
