Wenlin Forum

WenLin 3.4.1 works just as well with Crossover 9.0.1 as with Crossover 6.x

Cut and paste of Chinese characters works as expected.
Character strokes are visible in the 'character input' screen.

This time, the sound also works well, unlike some previous versions of Crossover.
If a character has more than one possible pronunciation, you will hear one pronunciation after the other when using the 'speech' tool.
Previously, the two pronunciations would be slightly jumbled.

What does not work:
It is not possible to directly input Chinese into the Wenlin window using input tools like 'SCIM'. I use 'Smart Pinyin' input method myself, but I found that other input methods also did not work.
Of course, Wenlin has its own Pinyin input method, but this could be a problem if you use CangJie, Zhuyin, BoPoMoFo.
It is also slightly inconvenient, because i use SCIM's Smart Pinyin in all my Linux applications.

Incidentally, using SCIM to input English into the Wenlin input window also does not work.

As of Crossover 9.1 Chinese input into Wenlin using input tools like SCIM works!
I have used Smart Pinyin (Chinese simplified) and briefly had a look at other Chinese input methods as well (such as Cantonese Pinyin).

This is an improvement over Crossover 9.0.1
Although not absolutely necessary for Pinyin users, it does remove the inconvenience of switching SCIM on and off when changing between using Wenlin and other Linux applications.
