How to add korean keyboard?

How do I add the korean keyboard typing system? I'm currently usins ubuntu 11.10.

I have tried adding the korean keyboard under setting>keyboard layout, but It doesn't allow me to type in korean.


I tried to find the answer to this last night and I got the same problem as you have. I having been trying again this morning. Is this what you want to do?

ㅂㅈㄷㄱ쇼 that is qwerty. Here is what I did:

1) Use System Settings>Language Support to select IBUS as the Keyboard Input Method System.

Adding IBus as keyboard input method system @ Language Support

2) Use Ubuntu Software Centre to install ibus-hangul.

3) Shut down and restart.

This should put a second keyboard icon in the top panel.

Click on it and select Preferences. Go to the Input Method tab and select Korean. Click Add.

Adding Korean input method @ IBus preferences

Now when you click on this second keyboard icon you can select Korean and a Korean icon will appear.

You can activate or deactivate the keyboard switching method by using Ctrl+Space.

Now if only I knew some Korean I could show off my success.

By the way this should work for Chinese as that is the other input method option.

In the Unity Launcher, type in input. You will see a few options.

First go to Language Support. You should be able to select different formats to add to you profile by clicking "Install/Remove Languages".

After you have done this, you should be able to toggle between english and korean at the top right of your screen, next to your time and volume control.

If you are still having issues, type in Input once again from the unity launcher, and start

From there, I would also go to "Input Method Switcher"

Best of Luck!
