• Chinese character input require SCIM.
• This page is a simple way to install SCIM without installing additional Language Support Packets

• Read SCIM for more detail.

• Before you continue, you may need some basic configuration of your new Ubuntu system.

Type in the terminal:

$sudo apt-get install scim-qtimm im-switch scim-pinyin

$im-switch -z en_US -s scim

Log out, then log in again. SCIM should be now the default input for all applications

If the second commandline doesn't work, try

$locale | grep LANG=

The anwer would be something like

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

Type in the terminal:

$im-switch -z YOUR LOCALE -s scim  # replace "YOUR LOCALE" by something like "en_GB"

You must restart your X window (log out, then log in) to take effect.

You can press "Ctrl+blank" to switch between English and Chinese input mode now in all applications.
