Which version of KDE are you running? Are you using the one from http://kde.tdyc.com/ ? And is it 1.1.2, or 2.0 beta? To be honest with you, I don't have a clue how to turn on Chinese in KDE because I have never installed KDE. :-) Anyhow, something to try is to add the environment variables LANG=zh_TW.Big5 LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 export LANG LC_CTYPE LC_ALL to the appropriate file. If you start your X session and KDE using the file ~/.xsession, you can add it in there, _before_ KDE is called. Alternatively, if you run "startx" from the command line to start X, then simply ensure you've set and exported these three variables before running startx. Again, I don't know of the i18n and Chinese support status in the KDE Debian packages, but I hope these tidbits could help.
