  1. Once the language has been chosen, choose an input method (e.g. Anthy for Japanese).
  2. Repeat steps 10 to 12 for other languages.

Extras

  • You can change the keyboard shortcut for changing input methods in the General tab (default is Super + Space).
  • To use other input method frameworks such as Fcitx5 or different IMEs such as Mozc for Japanese, do these before step 1.
    1. If you want, install the input method framework.
    2. Install the needed IMEs (refer to the same ArchWiki article).
    3. Continue with step 1.
