How can I configure a Chinese input method for KDE? I don't want a Chinese locale, just to write Chinese characters, mainly for learning purposes. (I'm still learning the language, so switching the entire UI to Chinese is not an option...)
Google search results are inconclusive, and from what I understood, not specific to newer versions of KDE.
Details: Kubuntu 11.04, KDE 4.6

I had exactly same problem as yours but thanks to your post and webmarwells reply I have found a solution :)
What was missing was the trigger to actually start the input of pinyin.
So after playing with ibus-setup etc, I did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ibus-gtk ibus-qt4 ibus-pinyin ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase
I have also installed packages for ibus-chewing - as I noticed the name of that on the ibus site
then
im-switch -s ibus
Log out and log in again!

Thanks! However, ibus appears to be installed on my system (from the distro repo), and even seems running, but I don't find where to control it. There's no input method icon, and in the system settings there is no entry for input method

If you are learning, I would suggest two more programs you might already know:
Anki (for learning flashcards)
In Anki you can use a very helpful plugin called pinyin-toolkit (http://ankisrs.net)
Eclectus (an offline dictionary)
Eclectus can use tegaki for handwriting input as well. You can install audiopack (made from swac collections) and strokeorder-fonts. You need to install the marcspitz/eclectus PPA for those packages.
The original Eclectus (as well on launchpad) doesn't work on 11.4.
Enjoy learning!
