things you need to do:
1=2E install an IM daemon, e=2Eg=2E ibus or fcitx
2=2E make sure it aut= ostarts
3=2E install an input method plugin for Japanese
4=2E configu= re the IM daemon to have that plugin active
5=2E make sure toolkit plugi= ns for the IM daemon are installed (e=2Eg=2E the qt5 plugin for ibus comes = bundled with qt, for fcitx it's a separate install)
6=2E make sure toolk= its know to load this plugin (e=2Eg=2E the QT_IM_MODULE variable)
7=2E a= dd the Input Method Panel widget to your panel pt use a different frontend = (ibus and fcitx also bundle their own ones respectively)

#4 is key, = when using a IM daemon the keyboard layout KCM turns useless=2E

Back= ground: https://youtu=2Ebe/wE0KD= abPfsQ

We're working on having IM config in System Settings=2E T= here was a GSoC project last year and work will hopefully resume soon=2E

Cheers,
Eike

I've tried= most of the things I found online, but most of them are at least 5 years o= ld info=2E

&n= bsp;

I've insta= lled fcitx but whenever I activate it nothing happens=2E

I've tried= adding the Japanese keyboard layout, and each variant of that, and I can o= nly get Katakana on one of the variants=2E

I wanted t= o send an email to the KDE Japan email list, but I looked through it's arch= ive and I only see spam in the last couple of months, which led me to belie= ve that the email list is dead=2E

Please adv= ise,
