Google Japan recently announced on its blog that the Japanese Input Method, which has been in development since last December, is officially out of beta. There is actually an open-source version of this input method called Mozc.

Install iBus-Mozc in ubuntu using PPA

Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:japaneseteam/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-mozc ibus-gtk

Once you restart, you should then see in the applet menu the keyboard icon. Under the setting, you can add Japanese > Mozc to enable the input method.

    Thanks for showing a path to Japanese IME. But when I type the commands you described, my Linux Mint replies with “err”. What can I do to imput Japanese letters?
