  <para>In the <guilabel>Other Countries</guilabel> screen you can also select
  an input method (from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the list). Input
  methods allow users to input multilingual characters (Chinese, Japanese,
  Korean, etc).</para>
  <para> For Asian and African locales, IBus will be set as default input
  method so users should not need to configure it manually.</para>
  <para>Other input methods (SCIM, GCIN, HIME, etc.) also provide similar
  functions and can, if not available from the drop-down menu, be installed
  in another part of the Mageia Control Center. See
