Dear Maintainer,

I installed plasma-keyboard for use with my touchscreen device, and enabled the above input methods. However, each of them did not fully function. zh_CN and ja_JP displayed a keyboard, but only the latin input was functional. The bar that was meant to display the pinyin/kana candidates did not appear, and I was only able to input latin characters. zh_TW was the most severe, where the entire keyboard was blank. According to KSystemLog, the error is as follows:
