Cannot use the sogou pinyin input method to type Chinese.

sogou pinyin is a popular input method for Chinese characters: https://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/

it's based on FCITX.

However, I can copy Chinese characters from somewhere else and paste into Ripcord.


my system:

Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 19.2 Tina Release: 19.2 Codename: tina

kernal: 4.15.0-101-generic

Fcitx is GPL and I am not allowed to include it with Ripcord. Sorry. You will have to make it work on your own somehow, probably by trying to make Ripcord use your distro's Qt libraries.
