你好

Check first with cat /etc/locale.gen | grep zh if the # is removed in front of the zh_ you wish to use. If not, edit the file as root. As next, apply sudo locale-gen and reboot.

What is the output of locale?

You probably also want an input method and chinese fonts:

sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-pinyin im-switch ttf-arphic-uming ttf-arphic-ukai

### apt-cache search ibus
### for other input methods (wubi, bopomofo)

Oh yes wenquanyi zenhei... I usually install en_US and later add the chinese fonts (arphic) that's why I never notice problems with localization (because the system stays english)

Have fun with #! smile
