Emoji picker --- empty?

[chimak111]

Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.12.5
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-14-generic

Pressing Meta+. comes up empty. I see this:

$ ibus-ui-emojier-plasma

$ apt list --installed | grep -i emoji

Maybe they're all Ninja emoji's?

Sorry. Couldn't resist the temptation!

The error is correct.

ibus/dicts/emoji-en_IN.dict

does not exist in Ubuntu.

Emoji picker doesn't show emojis for some locales: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417713

For some locales emoji picker doesn't show emojis. There are no ibus/dicts/emoji-*.dict files for these locales.

emojier: improve the fallback mechanism to detect languages

- try to find the exact locale.
- Include the more generic one.
- If none were found, use English.
