noWhen I have yong installed and I still want to make the system chinese as well do I still need to install a half-chinese pet?
only 1 half-Chinese pet (yong, fcitx or scim) + 1 chinese petOr must I uninstall yong and then install a half chinese pet and then the chinese system pet?
With yong installed and then installing half-chinese pet and the chinese system pet after restart X everything is chinese, but yong no longer works and neither does fcitx. Also after subsequent restart, the system changes with only some menu items and desktop icons retain chinese text.
In this case what steps must be taken so that only yong is installed and full chinese system, but no fcitx or scim?
I think you cannot install more than 1 half-Chinese language pets (yong + SCIM or fcitx) to one English system because they will interfere with each other and funny things will happen.
To make it work, I would recommend a fresh start from the English system rather than trying to fix your combo.
For your information, I had spent a few hours this morning trying to create the yong Chinese language pet for fatdog64 7.1.0 but ran into some issues. After changing the locale to either zh_CN or zh_HK, yong cannot run on most applications. yong is available in urxvt and applications that can specify the input method (need to choose yong as the input method) (e.g. Abiword and osmo). I will keep on working.
While waiting may I suggest that you try out the other Chinese ready Puppy systems such as the quirky SlaQ 8.1.6 or quirky Xerus 8.1.6.
