Current Gnome 2.x based desktops

Entering characters from outside the Latin alphabet on Linux desktops

First, open the "Input Method" tool

Select "Use iBus"

Click on the "Select an input method" chooser

For this example, we'll use Chinese Pinyin

We need to "Add" the select method and close the tool

When we want to input non-Latin text, click on the top toolbar to change the input. Note that you must be in a text input area to change this.
