   Hello @cnmade.

   I have never used Ibus or Fcitx. I don't really understand how to test them.
   Lookging at the documentation, the following could work:

   Run

   sudo pkg install fcitx5-qt
   desktop2app /usr/local/share/applications/fcitx5-configtool.desktop /Applications/Preferences
   

   • Now you can run System -> Applications -> Preferences -> Fcitx 5 Configuration
   • In the search box, search for "Chinese"
   • Double click on the one you want. It should appear on the left
   • On the left, select the one you want and press the "up" button so that it appears as the first in the list

   I don't know what needs to be done then. Maybe you can test it.

   The documentation also says:

   Remember to set the environment variable XMODIFIERS:
   
           csh/tcsh:       setenv XMODIFIERS @im=fcitx
           sh/bash:        export XMODIFIERS='@im=fcitx'
   
   For GTK+ programs, you may want to set:
   
           csh/tcsh:       setenv GTK_IM_MODULE fcitx/xim
           sh/bash:        export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx/xim
   
   For Qt programs, you may want to set:
   
           csh/tcsh:       setenv QT_IM_MODULE fcitx
           sh/bash:        export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
   

   Please let me know how your experiments go.
   Perhaps we can include it by default in helloSystem.
   Thanks!

   Can you please give Fcitx a try, see whether it works, and maybe suggest a default configuration?
   I have never actually used since I don't speak languages that require it.

   Thanks for testing.

   Sorry to hear that. Does it work better on other FreeBSD based systems?

   I'm too lazy to install, so I went to find a picture to see, it's all in normal use.

    Since I don't speak Chinese I don't know how this needs to work. But if someone can give me the exact steps how to install/preconfigure an easy Qt (not Gtk!) based solution, I'd be happy to include it.

    Ideally the user should not have to configure anything, just select "Chinese". Possible?

    Thanks.

    You have to face reality.

    @probonopd Chinese is not what you are used to. Only 26 letters can be put together to form a single word.

    1. Bopomofo
       

    2. Pinyin input
       

    3. Cangjie input
