There is a Chinese input method with Pinyin. See f.e. https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/keyboard/layouts/zh-Hans-Pinyin.js

Just when flashing Gaia it's not enabled by default, you'll need to set an env variable to enable Chinese (https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/Makefile#L302).

Does that help?

After checked the Line 302, I can not figure out how to enable Chinese.
Could you provide more details about it?

Jeff, please refer http://talk.ernestchiang.com/2013/11/firefox-os-zh-Hant-Zhuyin.html

The command might be `GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS?=en,zh-Hans-Pinyin,zh-Hant-Zhuyin make` while build gaia

@askeing , could you add the option described in Comment 3 to TWCI? 
then we could test chinese IME by default

[Askeing Yen[:askeing][:fyen]]

Setup the GAIA_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS=en,pt-BR,es,de,fr,pl,zh-Hans-Pinyin,zh-Hant-Zhuyin on TWCI.
Next builds will have the Zhuyin and Pinyin IMEs.
