After the English version of Ubuntu12.04 is installed, ctrt + space cannot be switched to Chinese.

Then I checked how to install and configure the Chinese input method in Ubuntu.

Step 1 install the language pack:

In the left-side menu bar, click system setting and search for Lanuage Support. in the displayed language Support dialog box, select Install/Remove Languages ..

Find simplified Chinese in language selection, and click confirm to install.

Step 2: install the IBus framework

This is an input method framework.

Open the command line interface and execute the following installation:

Sudo apt-get install ibus-clutter ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-qt4

Startup framework:

Im-switch-s ibus

After the IBus framework is installed, log out of the system and make sure the changes take effect immediately. (I did not log out when I installed it myself ..)

Step 3: install the input method engine

Sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin

(This engine is provided by default by ibus and may prompt you to install it)

Of course, you can install other engines, such as the Google input method.

Sudo apt-get install ibus-googlepinyin

Step 4: Set the IBus framework

Select the specific input method or set the priority.

Ibus-setup

 

Then we can use ctrl + space to switch to Google Pinyin when entering text.
