Hi, I'm having a bizarre problem with the Chinese input recently. If I select any Chinese input source, no matter whether it's traditional, simplified, pinyin or wubi xing, none of my keyboard input shows up. The individual letters don't appear, and the candidate window isn't triggered. This is very strange, since the input does seem to register - when I call up the keyboard window, the appropriate keys flash when I type.

I haven't seen anybody else suggest this specific problem here, but I have tried some of the solutions that were suggested for similar cases - setting up a new user account, restoring the standard fonts, and restarting in safe mode. None of that has worked so far, so I'd really appreciate a suggestion on what else I could try. Hi there, Roestigraben! Thanks for reaching out via the Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, I understand several Chinese input sources aren't working for you when you type, even though you can see them activated on the on-screen keyboard.

I'd be happy to help! I see you've taken some great steps so far; since the issue continued in safe mode and a new user account, I would recommend reinstalling macOS Sierra next. You can get instructions on doing that under the 'If you're reinstalling for other reasons' sections of the following article: While you do not need to erase the hard drive first at this point (so you can skip Step 2 in the above mentioned section), I would still recommend making sure you have an updated backup created prior to reinstalling. You can get help backing up with Time Machine here: Have a great day! Hi there, Roestigraben!

Hi, I also have this problem. I have two user accounts on my mac. One already had chinese input set up prior to my upgrade to sierra - this still appears to be working. After setting up chinese input on the other account after installing sierra, the input (and prompt) was working initially as expected.

Suddenly it just stopped and not showing the candidate characters any more. I remember changing the font size in one of applications just before the prompt disappeared. However not sure if this was the cause.

Any help would be much appreciated. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
