In “gnome-control-center region”, there is the nice feature that one can search in English always when adding input methods. I.e. when running in Japanese for example, one can still type “german” into the search field to find the German keyboard, which is listed as ドイツ語. That does not work when selecting keyboard layouts in anaconda. One can only search for the strings exactly as they are listed, not for the original English. One can only search for the translated strings. Therefore, is quite hard to find the ドイツ語(ドイツ語) keyboard, one has to scroll through the huge list of layouts to find it. As no Japanese input method is available at that stage, searching for ドイツ to find the translation ドイツ語(ドイツ語) is not possible. Maybe the search could be made to match also if the input matches the untranslated string so that typing “german” also matches ドイツ語(ドイツ語), just as it does in “gnome-control-center region”? See screenshots ...
Created attachment 799764 [details] keyboard-add-dialog-in-anaconda.png Left: I entered nothing into the search field but scrolled down the list until I found ドイツ語(ドイツ語) Centre: I typed “german” into the search field. It matches some entries which happen to contain “German” untranslated, but it does not match the “main” German keyboard layout ドイツ語(ドイツ語) because this is 100% translated. Right: Searching for “deutsch” finds nothing (of course ...)
Created attachment 799765 [details] input-source-add-dialog-in-gnome.png The “add input source” dialog in “gnome-control-center region”. Left: searching for “german” matches ドイツ語, although the translated string contains no “german” anymore, only the untranslated string contains “german” Centre: searching for ドイツ does match ドイツ語, i.e. one can of course search for the translated string. But this won’t work in anaconda because there is no input method available to type ドイツ. Right: searching for “deutsch” returns nothing (of course ...)
