Hello everybdy. I'm from VietNam, so my english is bad. I can't find any instruction for use x-unikey in my country. I want to type vietnamese and russia in my Kubuntu and OpenOffice 3.1 (my Kubuntu are 9.10 ). What program i can use to type my language (Vietnamese and russia)?
Uhm... I did install x-unikey, and ibus to my Kubuntu 9.10. After i log out and log in, i saw that's icon in my taskbar, but, i'm go to Preferences --> Input method, i click "select input method" and i didn't see any things. Finally, i click "add" button and no action cause.

Welcome to this forum and thanks for the nice words

There's nothing wrong with your command of the English language 8)
I've never installed a radically different language so I'm guessing.
From your posting I gather it's not sufficient to add the appropriate language parts through System Settings/Country Region & Language?
Vietnamese is in the list, even for the keyboard.

Google commes up with several postings about the subject, this one is in English:

And it kind of tells me it's the way to get Vietnamese in the terminal but it's not in the repositories.

A general tip, when clicking an icon does not work it's often better to issue the command in a terminal, that way you get feedback about the problem.
