Description of problem: Make a default install, after reboot,I try to add"Chinese" to the "Input Sources" of "Region&Language",it seems to be added succesfully,but I am unable to type "Chinese".Actually,Japanese is the same. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f18 Final TC1 X86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Did you add libpinyin or pinyin with "gnome-control-center region" command?
yesterday,I started the"Region&Language" by click the coin of"Region&Language".Today I started it by the command"gnome-control-center region",and try to add"Chinese"into the "input source".this time it seems even worse than the first way:Chinese is unable to be added to the list(the first way can added Chinese to the list). What's more,there is warning message say:failed to commit changes to the dconf
I think you use gnome-shell. Which locale do you use? Probably I guess ibus-daemon is not running until you run gnome-control-center. Does your problem is that the first launching gnome-control-center only? If you quit gnome-control-center and run gnome-control-center again with an interval, The Chinese is shown? And > Did you add libpinyin or pinyin with "gnome-control-center region" command?
Maybe I haven't displayed it clearly.My problem is not launching gnome-control-center.The problem is that Chinese can not been added to the"input source"list after gnome-control-center is launched. What's more ,when I start the"Region&Language"(the same as gnome-control-center) by clicking the icon ,I am able to add Chinese to the"input source"list.But I can not type Chinese even though I choose the langage mode on the top-right corner from "en"to "zh".

I don't ask those and I cannot reproduce your problem.

Er,I have tried it again just now,I am able to add"Chinese(Intelligent pinyin)"to the list,and can type Chinese after I change "zh"to"拼"。Yesterday，I just tried to add"Chinese"to the list,and it seems to be added successfully,but can not type. It is really confused.Maybe, 1)Chinese should be deleted from the list,as it dose not stand for any input method(Chinse(Intelligent pinyin)stands for the "In telligent pinyin"input method) ;2)"zh"should not appear on the top-right corner.

Except that there is no such thing as a « Chinese keyboard layout », this one is merely a US layout branded as « Chinese ». I absolutely agree that it should be removed, or at least hidden, as it is incredibly confusing, and completely useless.
Right - at least in gnome-3.8 input engines are now listed with an icon next to them to distinguish them from keyboard layouts. We also talked about moving the layout preview and engine config buttons into the Input Sources list. I don't know what keyboard layouts gnome is filtering currently but I agree they really need to be reviewed and filtered more. eg "Japanese (PC98xx series)" could probably be hidden. The problem is this really requires review by experienced native users for each country so it is hard to get it all done - at the same time legacy layouts can't really be removed from X since a few people might still have those old keyboards in use but perhaps they could be labelled old/deprecated/out-of-production/ obscure(?), etc in xkeyboard-config.

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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. 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 prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life.

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.
This still applies in Fedora 20.
OK, now I understand the problem. I think the description is fixed in f20 because a new icon is listed for ibus engines on add table UI. If 'cn' layout needs to be removed in gnome-control-center, it would be a bug in gnome-control-center.
