It is very important to us at the Editing Department that VisualEditor https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal works in every language, for every user.
VisualEditor's editing environment is a browser ContentEditable element. This means that your input method editor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method (IME) should already know how to work with it. However, to make VisualEditor correctly edit wiki pages, we have to stop browsers in lots of ways from breaking the page.
Sometimes this can interfere with IMEs. To make sure we work in your IME, we need your help: please see *wikimedia.github.io/VisualEditor/demos/ve/desktop-dist.html#!pages/simple.html http://wikimedia.github.io/VisualEditor/demos/ve/desktop-dist.html#!pages/simple.html*. This is the core system inside VisualEditor which lets you write and edit. It is different from the full editor, and some of the tools you are used to will be missing.
We're interested in particular in whether you can write text at all, what happens when you select different candidate texts, and how VisualEditor behaves in general.
More details, and some early test results, are provided here: *mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/IME_Testing#What_to_test https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/IME_Testing#What_to_test*.
We would love to hear from every language, and especially languages which use IMEs, like Japanese, Korean, Indic languages, Arabic and others. Thank you for your help.
Yours,
