Thank you for the suggestion and pointers.
This is not straightforward... Unsure whether we can do it.

From the given project Wiki URL:

    Input method engines for different languages:"
All URLs point to 'pkgs.org' which lists various Linux distributions and the relevant packages (incl RPMs) they offer for various architectures.

"Configure

Comment 2 Morgan Leijström 2024-06-02 01:37:20 CEST 
We have fcitx (4.2.9.9)

I read at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rime that fcitx is in maintenance mode and people are advised to use Fcitx5 instead.

By that it looks like we need to add or change to fcitx5 anyhow at least for mga10.
