Hello Stefan,
Thank you a million for this detailed and beautiful video.
I followed the setup step by step, all OK. ( I use Bodhi 4.5.0 so the layout has a little bit
difference ).
and I can see the Chines Language icon, I think it is installed successfully.
But to use it, I double click and right click the mouse, nothing happens.
I saw your video, when click it will appear a small Chinese dialogue windows,
(same as other OS )
But when I try it, no responding, nothing happens.
Thank you very much for your help.

I can see the Chinese Pinyin bar at the bottom, please see the screen copy,when I click it , a vertical choice narrow

But when I click "Chinese-Pinyin ", no responding,

to keyin chinese pinyin character then presenting a list of possible characters with that pronunciation.
I run the command ,sounds running successfully . but the problem persists, same issue as before.

I realized my daughter has laptop with BL 4.5. I did the same procedure as I described in my video. It did not work. Same as you described. Then I simply logged out and logged in and voila, chinese is working in terminal as well as in other GTK apps...
Hi Stefan,
Thank you a million.
It works like a miracle !
This time, both wifi and Chinese input work. Really beautiful !
Bodhi Linux is a savoir for old low end laptop.
Got the help from several Bodhi linux gurus to make it work, thank you all.
I found a link regarding Chinese input setup on a Chinese website.
Given the Chinese input already done on my Bodhi laptop successfully. So I don't
want to try this method, just put here for reference.
