Does debian testing use ibus like Ubuntu does? If so, its quite easy, and lots of tutorials exist on the net, but the keys to finding them is the term ibus. I use japanese input all the time, and it works great. But I'm on my phone right now and don't have thelinks in front of me.
If ibus is not available, maybe someone more familiar with debian testing will have a better answer.

I need to type some German documents, so I would like to use a German keyboard. My daughter's Mac had a nifty gadget that allows her to switch her keyboard from English to Spanish when she types papers in Spanish. It has a cute little Spanish flag on her menu bar and it also popped up a keyboard map so she could see where the extra accented keys were located when she typed in Spanish. Is there something similar for Gnome/Debian testing?
I can switch the keyboard using System->Preferences->Keyboard to a German keyboard, but I would like a visual representation of the keyboard to know where the keys are located (ie qwerty is actually qwertz on a German kezboard=. There is supposed to be a gnome applet called keyboard indicator, but I can't seem to find it on my system or find it in the Debian repository. The references I have seen are to click on a a panel and select "keyboard indicator" to install it....but I ain't got one of those darn things as an option! Very frustrating!
Thanks!
