Hi Daniel, Tks for your advice. Login Gnome (language tried : Trad/Simplified Chinese) > Gedit > Right click > Input Method "Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected. Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found 'Ctrl+Space bar' switching between Pinyin/Canjie and English. Chinese input is possible My problems were 1) If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the first page I can't switch to another page (additional/following page). This happens on all programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer, etc. 2) The contents in the Menu/tool-bar on OOo Writer disappear, if login Trad/Simplified Chinese, leaving only English characters there (short form description). I don't need Chinese menu. English menu can serve me. I don't know how to fix them. I have another FC2 box which does not have those problems. It is quite funny to me. I have posted those problems before without response. Can you help. TIA B.R. Stephen --- "Daniel S.K.
