hey, @daniel080400. Can you show me how to enable 'Traditional Chinese (fcitx5-chewing)' on Linux? I have installed 'chinese(chewing),' but it always outputs English characters instead of Chinese.

Sure, here are the steps to install fcitx5-chewing input method to a Debian 12 system, using GNOME as desktop environment:

sudo apt install fcitx5 fcitx5-chewing
Go to Tweaks -> Startup Applications
Add fcitx5 as startup application
systemctl reboot
Go to Fcitx Configuration -> Input Method
In "Available Input Method", search for "Chewing"
Add Chewing to Current Input Method (By pressing the '<' button), and apply the settings
Open a text editor and use 'Ctrl + Space' to switch to Chewing, you should be able to type in Traditional Chinese by now

If it didn't work, try rebooting the system again
A "hello world" version for this will be typing 'su3cl3', it should represent as "你好", then press arrow down to select between character variations
Sometimes FireFox have issue with this, and may not be able to switch input method to chewing. Test this with chrome-based browser or text editor instead
