Hi,
I would like to install a Chinese language input method. Have browsed this forum and found a topic dealing with exactly the same problem but unfortunately all the necessary steps seem to be missing here (see post number 2):
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3855&hilit=chinese
This is what I've done so far: Installed Chinese in the language options. See this (probably very tiny) attachment:
"Zh" stands for Chinese. However, this doesn't help me much as Chinese is a language which requires a special input method. I. e. you type in some (English or German) characters and then the program (which I'm desperately looking for) will propose a range of chinese characters you can choose from. Just by choosing "Zh" I can't type anything in Chinese!
I used a programm/an app like this in Windows. There should be something similar in Linux/Zorin.
Also tried the synaptic package manager (search word "chinese") and got a range of results of which I tried one or two but with no success. There are quite a lot of apps or something which offer chinese for firefox, or for thunderbird. But I want an overall package which applies to everything. Mainly e-mail (Sylpheed) and Libre Office.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
