https://askubuntu.com/questions/1408873/ubuntu-22-04-chinese-simplified-pinyin-input-support


  1. Open Settings, go to Region & Language -> Manage Installed Languages -> Install / Remove languages.
  2. Select Chinese (Simplified). Make sure Keyboard Input method system has Ibus selected. Apply.
  3. Reboot
  4. Log back in, reopen Settings, go to Keyboard.
  5. Click on the "+" sign under Input sources.
  6. Select Chinese (China) and then Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin).

In newer version of Ubuntu, I seem to have to install ibus-pinyin 

$ sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin 

$ ibus restart
