            Bug ID: 1222160
           Summary: Incorrect symbol for kk (Kazakh) m17n layouts
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 22
         Component: ibus-m17n
          Severity: medium

Description of problem:
I use ibus-m17n for my language kk - Kazakh.
Because our country plans migration to latin script I created a new m17n layout
table for phonetic entry.
I add my new mim file to /usr/share/m17n and my new phonetic input works.

However, in the language selector on the top panel, the short name (symbol) of
the language shows as an arabic letter.
It should be "kk", like e.g. "en" for English.

I found a fix for it.
The package ibus-m17n contains a wrong config file.
/usr/share/ibus-m17n/default.xml

It contains the following lines:

        <engine>
                <name>m17n:kk:*</name>
                <symbol>قا</symbol>
        </engine>

The lines are wrong because it sets the arabic symbol for all custom keyboard
layouts while the correct symbol is "kk".

Those lines should be changed to the following:

         <engine>
                <name>m17n:kk:*</name>
                <symbol>kk</symbol>
        </engine>
        <engine>
                <name>m17n:kk:arabic</name>
                <symbol>قا</symbol>
        </engine>


This way it only shows arabic symbol for the arabic layout.

Please advise what I should do to have it fixed in Fedora permanently.
