Unable to add Chinese input to Google Keyboard

I just bought an yoga tablet 10 B8000F. I tried Input Language/Active Input Methods to add Chinese, but it does not have Chinese on the list. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I doesn't appear the Google Keyboard supports Chinese.  There's plenty of 3rd party keyboards available in the Play Store that do, though.

  • Unable to add google account since Mavericks update

    Since dowloaing the 10.9.1 update, I have been unable to add or update my google account (including in system preferences, mail app and in the calendar) with error messages such as "unable to sign in at this time" and "a connection error occured". I deleted my google account with the hope of re-adding it error- free, although now I'm unable to even re-add the account.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

    Merci, Lionel. Votre suggestion a fonctionné!

  • All chinese input become numbers using firefox, while other browers are doing fine

    when using Chinese input methods, google pinyin or MS pinyin, I cannot write chinese characters, the input all become numbers. This is a lenovo laptop, all other browers work fine on this laptop.
    But firefox works fine on other computers, i can write in chinese in firefox on other cumputers.

    I have pavucontrol and I see the audio sources appearing when playback starts.
    When I have one audio source playing and I start another, for a fraction of second the sound skips and cracks as if part of the sound buffer got corrupted.
    EDIT: I just realized another thing : I have the same setup: I start audacious, push play, music plays, then I start gnome-music, push play, hear skip/corruption/crackle. Now the gnome-music plays the song, I pause the song and realize the volume of audio stream from audacious went down. When I close gnome-music, it gets restored again. I am not sure whether this could be the cause. Also I this probably shouldn't happen at all - I mean the audio should be suppressed during notification sounds but not during playback from another app, right?

  • Rime Chinese Input Set Keyboard Layout

    Hello,
    I am trying to install rime chinese input. Unfortunately I have a keyboard with a QWERTZ-Layout, which I am very accustomed to. I am using rime in Gnome Shell. Is there any way to keep the German keyboard layout whilst switching to rime? My chinese is not very good, so I hope this forum appropriate for this question.
    Any help is welcome.
    Edit:
    I solved it for the while by tweaking the rime.xml in /usr/share/ibus/component/
    This is my customized file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- filename: rime.xml -->

    Edit2: Unfortunately rime only gets started with the original layout somehow. Thus I reverted to simply tweak the <layout> option in the default engine in the rime.xml file.

    i use fcitx-rime, you can change the layout for rime in the input method configuration panel while not change you system layout.

  • Why did my Chinese input disappeared in Input Source and Keyboard Preferences?

    I was using Chinese input fine up until last night. It disappered all of a sudden this morning from the Input menu.  I also couldn't find it in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources. Can someone please help me to get it back?  I have OS X 10.9.1.  Thanks~

    I have the same problem. 
    New account or guest account can see all the input source
    I deleted ~/Library/Preferences/*.plist from my user account but the problem still exists

  • Now on iOS 5.1.1 - Chinese Input STILL not working 3+ years later

    I have just updated to iOS 5.1.1 and after ONE day I already have to restore my iPad.  This is, of course, after reinstalling all kinds of apps and getting data back into my programs.
    I added several languages to the keyboard options but everytime I tried to change from English (the default) to another one (almost always Chinese Pinyin) it would crash.
    So I thought I had too many languages installed.  So I uninstalled every single one except English and Chinese Pinyin.
    The Chinese Pinyin would STILL crash.  So stupidly (I say this because Apple doesn't think to add "safety nets" to their bugs) I removed English and left ONLY Chinese Pinyin.
    Now when I go into ANY program and "click" on a text box, the app will crash.  Every single app (except Spotlight, strangely enough.)
    The worst part is, when I open Settings and go to Keyboard, the Settings app immediately crashes, so there is literally NOTHING I can do at this point.
    Here we are on iOS 5 and the problems with Chinese Input (and many other foreign languages) are NOT fixed.  Actually this seems to have gotten worse because now my iPad won't even function without a restore.
    This is disgusting.  I have read MANY complaints about this in ENGLISH forums.  Imagine the 10's of millions of Chinese people that have purchased iOS devices and are facing these problems.  I guess Apple is forcing them to type in English?  I guess Apple doesn't understand that just as many people type in Chinese as English?
    When is this going to be fixed? 
    Does anyone have a quick solution to access the Keyboard section of my Settings to "fix" the problem (remove Chinese Pinyin and live without it again)? 
    I use my iPad for 2 things: to read my school textbooks (mostly pdf format, using GoodReader which is an excellent program) and for studying Chinese.  Well guess I can't study Chinese.  Thanks for not fixing a problem that has been going on for 3+ years, Apple!  Glad I'm using an Android phone that doesn't have these kind of problems.  After the iPad dies, I will definitely switch to an Android tablet.  What a joke.

    I was having the same problem few minutes ago. Here's the solution I found. You have to do these settings in all your apple devices (ie: iPhone, iPad, etc). In your iPad: first got to Settings, then to messages (make sure iMessage slider button is ON), the go to Receive at, then in the apple ID you have to sign in with your full email address (not your short apple ID) the same one you use in iCloud, iTunes, etc, then after you put your password your are sign in with your iMessage account.
    After that go to You can be reached for messages at, and then enter you full email address and since you are already signed in your email address will be verified in your device. In you iPhone use your cell number instead an email address since most of your contacts know your phone number, but you have a choice to use your email address instead with your phone. So it's up to you what you wanna use.
    Rememeber you also have to do this same procedure with Facetime to work with all you devices. To test Facetime i called my iPhone with my new iPad and voila...it worked. Good luck trying these settings.

  • New interface of Chinese Input Method

    I don't know if there were any other Chinese / Taiwanese people here on the Apple Communities but I really hated the new input method.
    the iOS4 interface of Chinese input method is way better.
    i wonder if there were any way i can change it back to the former one???
    if there were no way to fix it by oneself ; I hope Apple can changed it back.
    btw, does anyone know how to send an advice or suggestion to Apple on certain issue like this??
    thanks for anyone who answer my question.

    For some strange reason, Apple has decided to replace the old Chinese Handwriting "keyboard" with the new Chinese Stroke "keyboard" when you upgrade to iOS 5. The old input method is actually still there - just go into Settings / General / International Keyboards / Add New Keyboard and select Chinese Traditional (or Simplified) Handwriting. I am using an iPad 2 but hopefully it is the same for an iPhone.

  • Using Boshiamy chinese input method on iPad Mini2?

    Hi there,
    I've been struggling a lot on inputting tranditional chinese on my iPad and is wondering if the community can assist with installing or supporting the use of Boshiamy chinese input method on iPad please? There are thousands and thousands of Boshiamy users in Asia, and it'd be greatly helpful if the installation/support is enabled.
    Can someone please advise or come forward with me on this request?
    Many thanks!
    Jas'

    There is presently no way to install custom keyboards on any iOS device, but you can ask Apple to add this via
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Have a look at this app, which may be useful for some purposes:

  • Simplified Chinese input problem

    I recently update mac air, but the simplified Chinese input is disabled. Can someone help please?
    Thank you!

    Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and try deleting your Chinese input sources.  Then restart and try adding them back in.
    A further approach is to reinstall you OS.
    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

(several attempts that fail will lock it for 24 hours). If after waiting it still doesn't work, give customer support a call and see if they can help. The EU numbers are available here.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem. It just recently occured though. I used my old debit card with no problem at all and purchased a bunch of games in the Playstation Store, however I lost my DC a week ago and got a new one. Obviously I changed my billing information and that's when the problem started.
    1) I see a small pending transaction to Playstation Network which proves that my data that I put in was correct.
    2) Called the bank which confirmed that I have enough funds for the purchase and also confirmed that my card is active.
    3) Tried to buy a game in Google's Playstore for my phone, which also refers to that same DC number and had no problems.
    4) Contacted PSN/SEN customer support and got no response.
    I would buy PSN cards if I could but since I am currently living in Thailand i need to say that it is really hard to find one. I am not even sure if there are PSN cards for the Thai region, since if I do see some they are for the US region. Thus I am really dependent on my DC purchases.
    Any way of solving this?
    The billing address for your card must match the residential address on your PSN account for the transaction to complete.
    Are they both registered to the same address?

  • Unable to add a new track in Garageband 10.0.2

    Hi, I'm using the latest version of Mavericks and Garageband 10.0.2. I'm unable to add a new track.
    I repeatedly hit the + button, I go into the menu and hit "add a new track," I try to use keyboard shortcuts, and nothing seems to work.
    Yesterday when I tried to create an "empty project," it wouldn't allow me to start the session, instead it gave me this error code, "The specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create, then try again."
    I restarted my computer and tried again today, and I don't get the same error, but am still not able to add tracks. Not sure what's going on. Restarted it a couple of times and I'm still getting the same issue.
    Any help would be awesome.

    The musical typing is a legacy instrument from GarageBand '11.  You can use it, and drop samples to the keys, but GarageBand 10.0 does not save the patch.   If you still have GarageBand '11 installed, create the custom sampler instrument in GarageBand '11 and save it there.

  • Bug in Chinese input (Pinyin Simplified)

    Hello, I think I've found a bug in the OS' language input for Chinese input. It just doesn't seem to like writing the combination of letters 'zhe'. This is really annoying, as these letters spell the Mandarin for 'This', amongst other things, so I want to use it quite a lot. Every time I try to write 'zhe' using 'Pinyin- Simplified' it works fine for the first two letters, then when I type 'e' it beachballs and then just writes the English letter 'e' instead of giving me a choice of characters spelt 'zhe'. The 'zh' just disappears. Any more writing is just rendered in the English alphabet, despite the symbol for Pinyin- Simplified being displayed on the menu bar, unless I switch out and in of input languages. Resetting in this way doesn't cure the problem. This only seems to happen for 'zhe' as far as I can discover - 'zhou', 'zhi' 'zhang' etc. render in Chinese just fine.
    Perhaps someone could test this on their machine, and let me know whether it's a problem with my computer or the OS, and give me suggestions on how to fix it, if possible? I'd be grateful for any help.

    I can't duplicate your problem with 这 or 你。But I am only on 10.6.3.

    Why am I unable to add an outlook account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?
    I recently opened an outlook email account which I have paired with my phone. Which is probably because on the Iphone there is an option for “outlook” when setting up an email account. However, when I go to add the email account to my imac there is no option for “outlook”. There is however an option for “exchange” which I may have tried to use however it asks for server information which I do not have.
    I also tried to populate the add another account feature however it still don’t seem to recognise the email account.
