If you want Ubuntu like functionality out of the box, until someone makes it happen, you have 2 choices:>>>>While I appreciate your snark, Pi OS should have an easier way to set up multiple languages like Ubuntu. It's looking like multiple, multiple installs or mucking about with all kinds of settings versus simply adding a keyboard on Ubuntu. It's hardly intuitive for a supposedly "easy to use" OS.>>>>I'll try the stuff this weekend and see which works.
Yes. Pi OS is Linux. You need to choose one of the Linux IMEs that works on the Pi. Ubuntu is also Linux, but the IME might be better integrated than it is in Pi OS.
So, pick one and try it.
If you're unsure, do a Google search for someone who has tried it already:

If you have success, please come back and write about it to help the next person.
Seems he expects the pi to change everything so he can get it out of the box.
1. install Ubuntu (which is just a click or 2 away from where you clicked to have Pi OS installed)
2. make it happen
The nice thing about number 2 is that once you set it up to do what you want, you can distribute it in the internet so that others like you don't have to go through the trouble of doing the same thing.
Emphasis is mine.I set up a Pi5 with Pi OS for a friend today, and got quite annoyed with the language/locale settings. What I want is to have a switch between English (US) and Chinese. I can get the system changed to Chinese no problem using the raspi-config, but how am I supposed to add a keyboard. It's very easy in Ubuntu, but the Pi OS seems less intuitive? She wants to be able to switch the typing language between English and Chinese with the system in Chinese.
I've seen a few posts about adding some packages and other repositories, but the posts are from many years ago and seem dated. Can any of y'all point me in the right direction?
I don't know which section to post this, sorry if I'm wrongly posting here.
It is the spirit of Open Source. Take something made by someone, improve on it or make something new with it, and give it for free to others to do the same.
Contribute to the Open Source movement. The only alternative is to use what's already out there and hope someone does what you need for you.
Instead of complaining that what you getting completely free of charge at the expense of time, sweat and effort or others, annoys you, contribute to the Open Source movement so other like you don't have to get annoyed. And don't forget that you'll be doing it with your own free time and not getting paid for it.
Otherwise, what you get are the 2 options above.
