Chinese character input require SCIM.
This page is a simple way to install SCIM without installing additional Language Support Packets

Read SCIM for more detail.
Before you continue, you may need some basic configuration of your new Ubuntu system.

Type in the terminal:

$sudo apt-get install scim-qtimm im-switch scim-pinyin
$im-switch -z en_US -s scim

Log out, then log in again. SCIM should be now the default input for all applications

If the second command line doesn't work, try

$locale | grep LANG=

The answer would be something like

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Type in the terminal:

$im-switch -z YOUR LOCALE -s scim # replace "YOUR LOCALE" by something like "en_US.UTF-8"

For Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron or any later version, you might want to try this if the commands stated as above doesn't work:

$im-switch -z YOUR LOCALE -s scim-bridge # replace "YOUR LOCALE" by something like "en_US.UTF-8"

For example:

$im-switch -z en_US.UTF-8 -s scim-bridge

You must restart your X window (log out, then log in) to take effect.

You can press "Ctrl+blank" to switch between English and Chinese input mode now in all applications.
