on Archlinux i set dual keyboard layout to italian/japanese by using uim.
i would also like to use it on steam games which use proton/wine. how can i do?

then I had solved using the wine version of Steam and starting it with command:

env LC_ALL="ja_JP.UTF-8" WINEPREFIX="/home/pippo/.wine" wine steam steam://rungameid/945360

but since yesterday's Steam update this workaround no longer works. how can i solve?

Adding

LC_ALL="ja_JP.UTF-8" %command%

to the LAUNCH_OPTIONS of a given game in standard steam/proton doesn't work?

thanks but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I tried to use other input methods like ibus and fcitx5 but it didn't solve.
but I noticed one strange thing: if while playing steam game I restart fcitx5 from the systray menu, then it works. but after a few minutes it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart fcitx5 again. How is it possible?

i found a workaround! when it doesn't work if i type Alt+TAB 2 times, it fixes it and it works again!
What could be the cause? i don't use DE, i have only openbox. i have tried another WM like metacity but nothing changes.

I think I have SOLVED, it was a wine problem:

sudo pacman -Rs wine-ge-custom wine-mono winetricks dxvk-async

sudo pacman -S wine
