I just installed Deepin. Strange that I cannot do Chinese inputs despite selecting a Simplied Chinese keyboard.
Being a distro from China, I would have expected Chinese inputs to be seamless.

i recommand you to use fcitx and sogoupinyin IME,it based on fcitx framwork but not open source,but it can help you type in more fast.

sogoupinyin official web page :https://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/?r=pinyin

Download deb package from this page,then install and reboot.

If you want to use ibus,you need to install ibus-libpinyin

sudo apt install ibus-libpinyin

maybe you need to restart your computer

If you can't type in Chinese in some applications,you need to add environment variables such as :

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
