This page introduces the Chinese-related input methods (IMs) in Debian. Three major input method frameworks, namely IBus, Fcitx, and Fcitx5, are being actively maintained.
Users should install one of the available frameworks and choose input methods for such framework in order to perform actual input. The im-config package helps to install and to manage all these IMs on one system.
