There is a certain combination of locales that you need to use. I spent 2
hours ealrier today experimenting and finally found the optimal solution 
that
allowed me to input chinese and read all characters whilst retaining most of
my system in english. I have pasted the contents of my /etc/environment 
file,
you can replace the GB with french or something and logout/in to make the
changes active.....

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_GB:en"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"

Hope this helps?
