Install Chinese Characters on Ubuntu

Install Chinese Characters on Ubuntu

As far as I know, Ubuntu does not come with Chinese language support pre-installed. To install Chinese language support on Ubuntu, follow these steps:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ibus-pinyin ibus-sunpinyin

Then:

1. Open “Settings” > “Region & Language”.
2. Click “Manage Installed Languages”.
   • Ensure that “Keyboard input method system” is set to ibus.
3. Go to “Install/Remove Languages” and check the box next to “Chinese (Simplified)” or “Chinese (Traditional)” as needed.
4. Click Apply.
5. Under “Input Sources”, click the + button.
6. Select “Chinese (China)” and then choose your desired input method (e.g., “Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)”).
7. Click Add.
8. Remember to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
