Bug Description
BACKGROUND
en_HK is popular among Hong Kong GNU/Linux users. However, according to current practice of IBUS, Simplified Chinese mode would be used by default. This is very annoying for these users.
PINYIN CANGJIE DIFFERENCE
Pinyin for Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters are the same. If a Traditional Chinese user meets Simplified Chinese mode, she can still express her meaning in most cases. However, Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters generally do not have same Cangjie code. A Traditional Chinese user would meet a very hard time in Simplified Chinese mode because she cannot get expected character by typing her familiar Cangjie code.
BTW, Cangjie and related Quick is still very popular in Hong Kong.
