no chinese input

Hi,

I am switching between german, english and chinese keyboard input. On my Jolla Phone, this was no problem and I could easily input chinese pinyin or hand drawn characters.

Now, on Sailfish X if I select any of the chinese keyboards, I still look at the english layout and there is no area to draw chinese characters (for drawing input) and there appear no characters on inputting pinyin. It just works as an english keyboard is supposed to work. Nothing Chinese there. Any other keyboard (Russian, Thai, whatever) appears to work fine.

So no way to input any Chinese.

Anyone else found this problem/ can tell me what's wrong?

Regards,

ian

update: even after upgrading to Sailfish3, no change in that. Good consistency at least. Still, no one else having trouble with chinese input?
