Hello Paul, No the installer is not the issue. Just typing in Georgian using a normal qwerty keyboard. I do not want to use Ubuntu because Debian is so much better for me. Also I am not complaining because the software is old. I don't mind old, and I certainly prefer old and stable, that is why I use Debian. Just how to fix this important missing feature. I guess I will wait for Debian 11.

Debian 11 bullseye has ibus-m17n 1.4.3: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/ibus-m17n Ubuntu has ibus-m17n 1.4.3 because ibus-m17n 1.4.3 was imported into Debian by the Debian Input Method team and then Ubuntu automatically synced it to their archive. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ibus-m17n https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-m17n PS: if you would like to add support for Georgian to the Debian installer, website, wiki etc, please review the information at the bottom of this page: https://www.debian.org/international/ It appears there is some support for Georgian in the Debian installer, but there is none in the website/wiki/etc and there is no mailing list for Georgian translators. You can discuss this on the debian-i18n mailing list. https://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
