Description Mike FABIAN 2012-09-27 16:20:21 UTC 
I found that problem when trying to add a de_DE.conf file to
ibus-typing-booster with these contents:

mfabian@ari:/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/hunspell-tables
$ cat de_DE.conf 
license = GPL
serial_number = 2010922
icon = english.png
name = de_DE
description = This is a German typing booster engine table for De-De language
languages = de
author = Anish Patil <apatil> 
status_prompt = de
valid_input_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöüßABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÜ
layout = us
auto_wildcard = TRUE
max_key_length = 50
auto_commit = FALSE
discard_invalid_key=FALSE
def_full_width_punct = TRUE
def_full_width_letter = TRUE
user_can_define_phrase = TRUE
pinyin_mode = FALSE
dynamic_adjust = TRUE 
hunspell_dict = de_DE.dic
ime_name = German - DE(Hunspell)
page_size = 6
symbol= De-DE(Hunspell)
lang_chars = esijanrtolcdugmphbyfvkwqxzäüößáéêàâñESIJANRTOLCDUGMPHBYFVKWQXZÄÜÖÉ-.
m17_mim_name = latn-post
encoding  = ISO8859-1
other_ime = True
setup = /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-typing-booster
tab_enable = Falsemfabian@ari:/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/hunspell-tables
$ 

After doing that,

    /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml

segfaulted because it is using libtranslit to load the “latn-post” input
method which fails.

You can use "t-latn-post" instead of "latn-post".
