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)

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.

Yes, I can speak a little Chinese, I am studying it right now in China.
I don't speak chinese language, but I promote this tutorial jaja! because probably in this site there are some people speaking or learning chinese language xD
@livram79:
I promote this tutorial.
It would be helpful for Chinese users.
By the way...,
我很想知道您会不会讲中文。
