I've used SuSE 8.2 since may, and my dad want to give it a try too. But he needs to write in Chinese for bussiness.

In principal, install xcin, set the language to zh_CN (variables LANG (and optional LC_ALL) in the personal ~/.profile or in the global /etc/sysconfig)). When you then log in to X11, xcin starts automatically (because of the .xim file that SuSE installs in you home). You activate chinese input with Ctrl-Space and switch input method with Ctrl-Shift. When you enter PinYin, Space gives you the next ten choices. Unfortunately there is a bug in XFree86 that comes with SuSE 8.2. The mainland Chinese locale (zh_CN) does not work with xim. The locale of province Taiwan (zh_TW) does work. If you need Jiantizi (zh_CN), you need the following patch: Edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias and set the alias for zh_CN to zh_CN.eucCN (instead of zh_CN.GBK-0). As far as I remember there are two places to change, just search for GBK-0. BTW, to the others, i.e. Mike FABIAN: Is there already a patch in Yast Online Update? Regards Marc

Can anyone here help me? I already try to install SuSE in Chinesse but still can't input Chinesse.

Marc Waeckerlin already was so kind to explain how to make xcin work again for simplified Chinese. But if you are mainly interested in simplified Chinese you may want to have a look at SCIM which works better for simplified Chinese than xcin. See http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/scim.html if you want to try SCIM. -- Mike Fabian http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
