I am curious: could you tell me more about Polish/Spanish IME, what exactly have you try?
The reason I ask is (and I don't have much experience with European keyboards) is that these might go through the standard pathway, a regular keystroke.

The IME on the other hand, is a special UI that pops up with a list of candidates, and it's usually used in CJK languages.
