Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

Maybe I just don't know how. But I enabled the IME in the settings and selected it.

The keyboard is indeed a Chinese one, has the signs "符号" in the left corner but all it inputs is Latin characters. I selected the 中文 (拼音) keyboard.

How do I make it suggest me any Chinese characters?

Besides, the stroke keyboard - 中文 (手写简) doesn't work for me at all. It simply doesn't change the keyboard at all.

I'm using a ported device (OnePlus 3) - maybe I need to install some extra packages?

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

Checked on my Jolla 1 and every chinese keyboard is working.
Check if you have installed:
1. jolla-keyboard-hwr
2. jolla-keyboard-layout-chinese
3. all-translations-pack

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

All of them are installed.

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

/usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/HwrLayout.qml belongs to the package jolla-keyboard (not jolla-keyboard-hwr).

This one is installed too.

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

Is the file there or missing?

The file is there.

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

Sorry, it is of course asking for "com.jolla.hwr".

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

com.jolla.hwr should be provided by jolla-handwriting.

What I noticed that I don't get any input suggestions when writing with the English keyboard, although I have screenshots showing such suggestions.

Nothing provides jolla-handwriting.

sudo zypper in jolla-handwriting

This is on SailfishX. Maybe this is a proprietary package?

Re: Trouble with Chinese input on SailfishOS

I was told on #sailfishos-porters that it's due to the fact that my device doesn't have store access. Thanks for pinning down the issue!
