How to enable Chinese input method in silverblue?

Hi everyone,

I need to enable chinese input method in silverblue.
I’ve installed ibus-pinyin already with rpm-ostree command.
I’ve run ibus-setup change input method settings and have added pinyin into the list
I’ve run ibus-daemon -drx to run ibus daemon on background mode.

But, I can not see any ibus input icon on the top-right corner. I’ve tried to switch input method with space keys but nothing happend. All I can write with is only English characters.

Could you please help me to solve this problem with thanks?

Well, finally I found the answer.
After installing ibus and input method. I need to open “settings” application. then click “+” in “Keyboard” option. add input method on the keyboard list. then reboot the desktop environment.

我已经找到了答案
安装好ibus和输入法之后,我还需要在“设置”里面的“键盘”选项中点击“+”增加安装的输入法后重启桌面环境,输入法即可被启用。
