              Hi,

              To what .pro file did you add that CONFIG entry ?

                  No. You have a wrong way. Read the document again. That .pro is in the plugin source(src/virtualkeyboard/virtualkeyboard.pro).

                      Yes, you are right.
                      First, make(qmake & make) plugin and then install.

                          I assume you are using Windows & minGW.
                          Try the following procedure.

                          1. Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
                          2. Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
                          3. Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
                          4. Run qmake
                          5. Run mingw32-make
                          6. Run mingw32-make install
                          7. Rebuild your exampls and run.

                                Just a wild guess but do you have any fonts that supports these characters ?

                                    In your target font folder AFAIK.

                                      I don't think it's installed font problem.
                                      Also i don't know PinyinInputMethod( lang-zh_CN), TCInputMethod(lang-zh_TW) and chinese languages.
                                      But, there are difference between the two features provided by QtVirtualKeyboard.
                                      Please compare the two source codes below.
                                      I think the layout for zh_CN is strange.

                                      Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard\content\layouts\zh_CN\main.qml

                                        Hi,

                                        I have question regarding the virtual keyboard topic mentioned before and especially for the chinese one. How can I get the upper frame of the keyboard layout for the additional chinese letters.
                                        Is it just a word prediction with hunspell or is it an independent mechanism to show additional letters depending on the current selected one?

                                        I tried the virtual keyboard example with all languages. But with simplified chinese I have only normal alpha numeric letters like at the official QT link. But they can chose a chinese letter if they typed in some alpha numeric ones.

                                        you can see an example here (Pinyin keyboard layout, Zhuyin keyboard layout, Cangjie keyboard layout):

                                          I assume you are using Windows & minGW.
                                          Try the following procedure.

                                          1. Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
                                          2. Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
                                          3. Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
                                          4. Run qmake
                                          5. Run mingw32-make
                                          6. Run mingw32-make install
                                          7. Rebuild your exampls and run.

                                          1 Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
                                          2 Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
                                          3 Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
                                          4 Run qmake
                                          5 Run mingw32-make
                                          6 Run mingw32-make install
                                          7 Rebuild your exampls and run

                                          The button is not enabled for respective language. and i am using

                                          path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.

                                          path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard is the plugin to which we need to change and check,

                                          any clue what i am doing wrong, few days back i tried it worked, now i dnt know what happened?.
