This should be quite easy if you only use English and Chinese (i.e., no european language or other asian language) and use UTF-8 encoding. All you need to do is to configure the input method correctly. [snipped] > Hopefully someone knows of a good english howto site for enabling Chinese > input on an English debian/Sarge/Ubunto system. Not that I know of. Actually I even don't know any good Chinese Howto documents. As the maintainer of scim packages, I would suggest you to look at it. It is a nice input method platform, and with scim-chinese package you can input Chinese in all various applications while keep English interface. I've just written an English user's manual in version 0.9.7-3 (will enter sarge pretty soon) thanks to Osamu Aoki's help, hope you'll find it helpful. > Thanks in advance. You are welcome. Hope this helps.
