Public bug reported:
For some user input, linpinyin provides English words as top candidates,
which is extremely unhelpful.
For example:
- For 'shang', 'shanghai' is provided as 1st candidate.
- For 'rang', 'rang' and 'range' is provided as 1st and 2nd candidate.
However, for Chinese speakers, they expect following candidates:
- For 'shang', '上' is much more expected.
- For 'rang', '让' is much more expected.
This bugs makes ibus-libpinyin sometimes annoying. As a native Chinese speaker,
I suggest:
If ibus-libpinyin wants to suggest English words, it should first check if the
input is pinyin, not an English word.
