Comment 1 You-Cheng Hsieh 2012-12-21 05:01:21 CET
This is not a bug. I believe you are confused like I once were.

The drop-down menu is greyed-out, but if you click on the > symbols you can select the input methods to add.

Please see the attached pic and try if you can click "v" icon to show a list of languages
Comment 5 You-Cheng Hsieh 2013-02-26 08:21:36 CET
After a few emails with AnneMarie Victor, pinyin can be added to ibus. Actually it was the theme which misleads/confuses users for select and add input methods.
Comment 6 You-Cheng Hsieh 2013-03-11 07:00:04 CET
I've add the steps to add input methods in the errata of Mageia 3:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_3_Errata#Internationalization

Before better solutions are found, please refer to these steps for adding input methods.
Comment 7 You-Cheng Hsieh 2013-04-10 04:54:08 CEST
I'm colsing this bug as it's in fact caused by misunderstanding and confusion of gui style. If you cannot add input method entries, please refer to the errata of Mageia 3 above.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
