HiStephen,

Go to the SYSTEM menu and go to ADMINISTRATION --> LANGUAGE SUPPORT and
put a tick in the Chinese language, then let it install all the required
things. After this is complete you should be able to enter Chinese text
by right clicking in the application and selecting INPUT METHOD -->
SCIM.
If you always want the use of SCIM to easily change between english and
chinese without manually right-clicking in every application then run
the following command in a terminal:
$  im-switch -s scim

If you are running gnome then entering text using scim into KDE
application will not work until you install scim-qtimm:
$  sudo aptitude install scim-qtimm

Finally some Chinese glyphs will not render correctly under gnome and
most will not render at all on KDE, to correct this issue, run the
following command:
$  sudo fontconfig-voodoo -s zh_CN --force

That should be all. Let me know if it works for you.

Gabriel
