I found this thread here:

I still haven't got it to work for both Chinese and Japanese on Breezy.
In fact, even French input is a pain compared to Windows.

On Windows, it is quite easy: I use the control panel to add both
keyboard layouts and IME and get a nice little icon in the taskbar to
switch between Japanese, Chinese (pinyin and bopomofo), French and US
English. This seems to be difficult to impossible on Breezy!

Part of the problem seems to be that Japaneses are developing their own
thing and Chineses their own thing and both can't be bothered to make it
work together... As usual!

As it stand, Ubuntu is practically useless for a third of the planet
(excluding the developers of the Linux IME themselves of course...).
This needs to be solved at the core of the distro and should be the
number one priority for the next Ubuntu...

In the meantime, if anyone could point out to a step by step procedure
to get it to work on Breezy I'd appreciate it!
