As I said, gcin is an option, even if it's not integrated in the Ubuntu 
desktop in the same manner as IBus and Fcitx. Since I don't speak 
Chinese I'm not able to tell how well it works.

I think that Ubuntu users in many countries share the picture above. You 
know what, I think you should get in touch with the local Ubuntu 
community in Taiwan.

http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-tw/

Also, the ubuntu-community-team mailing list is a way to share 
experiences and ideas with other local communities.

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-community-team

This mailing list is for discussing Ubuntu development, and probably not 
the most suitable place for this discussion.

Excellent.
