I'm one of fcitx developer, actually I really want to drop the old fcitx pinyin and switch to a new one.
But there is current no library can support all feature of fcitx pinyin. At least there is no pinyin library can support multiple dict easily.

First I want an easy way to install dict and remove dict, if it only needs a separate file, it would be great.
Second I want an easy way to enable or disable a dict during run-time. Just a random thought.

I haven't tried libpinyin yet (even not look at the API yet), but after talk with a ibus-pinyin developer during FAD 2011, I was told that something about dict management is WIP. So I hope these feature can be taken into account.

And for another thing, I hope there is an API can add a word to dict by the string and given pinyin at run-time, and an easy API to get the current pinyin even using shuangpin, chewing or bopomofo.

Thank you.
