I think it’s fine to use ‘wrap-program’ here, even if that means that
there’s an additional wrapper layer.

Unless there are performance concerns or similar, I think we should
favor readability and maintainability.

Rather “Input method framework” (“intelligent” is meaningless.)

What about:

  IBus is an input framework providing a full-featured and user-friendly
  input method user interface.  It comes with multilingual input
  support.  It may also simplify input method development.
