hello..and please help me..

The easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use a Chinese
session, you can enable that in the languages section of the menu.

If you have to use an English (or other language session) it is a bit
more difficult to get working properly - it is normally open office that
is the hardest to get working. You will need to install some extra
packages, go into synaptic package manager and find:

scim
scim-gtk2-immodule

You will also need some input method packages, read the descriptions and
choose the ones you like, you may consider:
scim-pinyin
scim-tables-zh

I have found the easiest way to get it working is with another package
called im-switch

After installing all of that, go to a terminal and type:
$ sudo im-switch -z all_ALL -s scim

This means all your programs will get their input, for all languages,
from the scim program. There maybe more elegant ways to do this, but
this is simple and it should work.

If you need more chinese fonts, they are also available from synaptic,
look for the ttf-arphic packages and choose the ones you like.

I haven't done this for a while so I might have forgotten a few steps,
but will be installing a new box on the weekend, I'll give you an update
if I left anything out.

You may like to look at http://www.ubuntu.org.cn/ (or .tw) if you prefer
working in Chinese.
