Chinese input in Sierra not working

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. Thanks!

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: How to reinstall macOS

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: Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac


Have a great day!

I have the similar problem, I use Create and use your own input source to type Chinese from OSX Leopard to El Capitan, and it works fine, however, after I updated to Sierra, it is not working well, the number indicator inside the candidate window are all gone, I can't use the number key to choose the individual letters, this is so annoying for an iMac which can't do any simple typing work well. Dose anyone else has this issue? Any solutions for this case? Thanks!

DDoes this happen in TextEdit, Mail, Safari?  Or only Create?

My case happened in everywhere, every apps while using create and use your own input source.

I tried doing a normal OS X reinstall, but it wouldn't let me, since my current version is apparently more up-to-date after installing the most recent update yesterday. I'll try doing a wipe and clean reinstall on the weekend and see how that goes.

Are you talking about some custom input source you have created?  Do you have the same problem with the input sources provide by Apple, like Pinyin Traditional or Pinyin Simplified?

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.

 

Thanks!

Following my post, I have done a restart of my mac and candidate prompt re-appears again!

The input sources (Pinyin...) by Apple are all fine, I'm using the "create and use your own input source" by Apple and already followed all the instructions to create the input method, it was working fine on OSX Lion, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan... but not on macOS Sierra ONLY!

This sounds like a bug that Apple will have to fix.  Let them know via

If you like, send me your .cin or .inputplugin file and I will have a look too.  (tom at bluesky dot org)

Hi Tom,

Just sent the .cin to your email, see if you know what's the problems there! Many Thanks!

For more details, you can check my other discussion here:

 

MacOS Sierra Create and use your own input source problem

Not only happened on Pinyin, Cangjie Chinese input also got the same problem on Sierra, only show up the same wordings for any Chinese word typing, I don't think reinstall the OS can solve this problem, hope Apple can fix this problem asap instead.  It's really soooo annoying problem for Chinese input person.

If you are talking about the inputs supplied by Apple, most people do not have any problem with these, so it is a problem with your machine, not something Apple will be fixing.

 

Try setting up a new user account and see if you have the same problem when logged into that.

Yes, I'm using Built-in Cangjie input, but both my iMac and Macbook Air got the same problem.

 

I just tried your suggestion to create a new account and try again, but the result is the same, that's mean the problem is on Sierra OS side, not my machine then.
