- I did a default install of Fedora 20 Beta TC3 in qemu using the commandline shown in comment#0. - Japanese was used as the installation language - US English keyboard was added manually in Anaconda - After the default Gnome installation had finished, the other desktop environments were added with “sudo yum groupinstall cinnamon-desktop-environment kde-desktop-environment ... - Log in from gdm to cinnamon - Check what input method is offered for Japanese by clicking the input method icon in the panel → “anthy” is shown as Japanese input medhod (See screenshot). The screenshot also shows in the terminal that ibus-anthy is not even installed but ibus-kkc (which is not the default Japanese input method of Fedora) is installed. The “gnome-control-center region” which is also shown in the screenshot for reference shows that in Gnome the input method “日本語 (かな漢字)” (which is ibus-kkc) is correctly listed.

This extra screenshot shows both gnome-control-center region and cinnamon-control-center region In the cinnamon-control-center, only 日本語 ← Japanese keyboard layout 英語 (US) ← US English keyboard layout are shown, not input methods at all are shown.
By the way, the missing letters seen in the screenshot “Switch to previou ource” are probably because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010445
Created attachment 812504 [details] cinnamon-control-center-region-no-japanese-input-methods-can-be-added.png This screenshot shows, that using the [+] button in the “Input Source” tab of cinnamon-control-center region no Japanese input method can be added. Only Japanese keyboard layouts are shown, no input methods, although ibus-kkc is installed.
In Fedora 22 Beta, there seems to be no support for input methods in cinnamon-control-center at all. Apparently there is no ibus integration. But one can use ibus-setup, which works. I.e. the behaviour is different in Fedora 22 and this bug does not apply to Fedora 22.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
