Install Chinese Language support

# First install the Chinese language desktop environment, open a Terminal and type in:

sudo apt-get install  task-chinese-s-desktop

Note:

Accept all dependencies suggested by the system.


# Next you have to configure the locales, type in the Terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/locale.gen

and remove the “#” from the locale you want to use (don't forget to save). For Chinese language use one of the “zh_” locales.

Now type in the Terminal:

sudo locale-gen

# Restart computer and at the Login window choose Chinese language.

Note:

you can use ibus-pinyin to type Chinese characters instead of Scim. If you want to install ibus-pinyin open a Terminal and type in:

sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin      (accept all dependencies suggested by the system)

@livram79:
Oh, really?
I have studied Chinese for two years in Beijing.
I hope you would reap a rich harvest from your study in China.

Thank you @Anleoje and @kazztan0325.
To install in other languages someone can follow this tutorial:
1)First install the desktop environment for that language, type in the Terminal:
# sudo apt-get install task-[language_name]-s-desktop (this should pull all dependencies, including LibreOffice and Firefox in that language)
2)Configure the locales:
# sudo gedit /etc/locale.gen (remove the "#" from the locale you want to use)
and then run:
# sudo locale-gen
3)Restart computer and at the Login window choose that language.
