For speakers of the Vietnamese language, we currently provide 2 ibus packages:
Additionally the package ibus-m17n provides other methods for Vietnamese
ibus-unikey is older than ibus-bamboo and therefore has been used in the real world for far longer, unfortunately development has stalled and even the developer recommended that the user switches to projects like ibus-bamboo if anything in ibus-unikey breaks[1]
We plan on keeping both input methods available for compatibility and simple user preference reasons, if you encounter any issues or want us to add another Vietnamese input method please submit a bug report to the bug tracker
Installing
Install is as simple as:
root # emerge ibus-unikey
for ibus-unikey or
root # emerge ibus-bamboo
for ibus-bamboo
Next, install ibus-m17n:
root # emerge ibus-m17n
After the installation finishes you are now ready to type in Vietnamese, to add the input methods open ibus-setup, navigate to the Input Method tab, click the Add button on the side panel and search for Vietnamese, you should get options similar to this:
