ibus-kkc -- a Japanese Kana Kanji input engine for IBus

ibus-kkc makes the Kana Kanji conversion library (libkkc[0]) usable through IBus.

Custom dictionaries

ibus-kkc will look for a "dictionaries.json" file in a path consisting of the user's config directory concatenated with the package name (the default template for this file is at src/ibus-kkc-dictionaries.json[1]). By default the file will be searched in "$HOME/.config/ibus-kkc/".

The "dictionaries.json" file is in JSON format and contains a list of JSON objects describing dictionaries that can be downloaded from here[2] (this site is in Japanese). All custom dictionary files mentioned in "dictionaries.json" will be searched in "/usr/local/share/skk/".

The assumed default encoding of the dictionaries is "EUC-JP". If your dictionary uses a different encoding you can add an "encoding" field to the JSON object describing your dictionary. The value of that field should be the name of the encoding used in your custom dictionary file.
