[Bug 1102305] [NEW] No Korean input method installed by default

[vialick]

Public bug reported:

I remembered several years ago trying a Korean install, but I remember
you had to hack it to get input to work.

I run an English install of Quantal (AMD64) so I tried a korean
installation in virtualbox, and realised that there is still no korean
input available on default (or a self-explanitory way to make it
available). To get input I had to download and install ibus-hangul and
configure it using the steps I found at http://xmodulo.com/2012/11/how-
to-enable-korean-language-input-on-ubuntu.html

Fortunately I only use Korean rarely, so I don't mind manually
installing it, but I think it should be an included feature. Even if it
is just a checkbox in the install (we can download mp3 codecs during the
install, shouldn't be too hard for a "do you want to type in your
language" option if it can't be included in the standard distribution)

Hardware is ASUS F45U laptop (US keyboard, I don't have a working Korean
one to test)
