Help with Chinese input - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey everyone. So I just noticed my phone has the option to switch to Chinese under the language settings. I've been flashing rooms and kernals for awhile on this phone. Currently I am on tdjs dark side beta 3.
So some of my relatives recently took advantage of the free gs2 offer from T-Mobile and got their phones. They've come to me to see if I can change their phone to Chinese. The weird thing is, that I can't even see that option on their phones.
Is this because I'm rooted with a different rom? Or is it because I'm on ICS that has the ability to have the option or Chinese?
What's the quickest and easiest way for me to add Chinese to their phones. I'm not talking about the Google Pinyin app, I'm looking to change the language of the entire phone to Chinese.
Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Even though the phone supports many languages only a few of them will show in the menu. Using this app will allow you to access the hidden languages and set it as the system language. Be advised the languages are in pseudo alphabetical order so you will have to scroll the whole list to find the language you're looking for.

do mean that the device language have to be English ?
Is there anyway to make only the google now English and the rest Hebrew?
Yup, that's what I meant. I've heard of a way by replacing the APK file with a modded one. Not remember where, but Google should get you there.

[Q] No personal dictionary after 4.0.4 update?

I just got the OTA update yesterday to Android 4.0.4. I know it was supposed to improve the ease of typing but it has actually made things a lot worse (for me, anyway). It seems like they changed the way the prediction works. Like "Im" always used to be automatically replaced with "I'm". Now it's not. Also, I can't find the personal dictionary anymore. Where did they hide it?
Did you check android keyboard settings?

Yup, checked there. No luck.

[Q] How do you add languages?

I can't seem to find an answer to this through searching. I see videos where people show they have all language packs, but explain how they got it.
Does anyone know where to get them and how to install them?
PS - I'm not referring to Keyboards. Talking about entire system Language and Input.

I'm not certain if this will work, but if you have Root access, you can try this free app: MoreLocale2. It has some good reviews, but I have never used it.
Easy

Easy just go to setting- language and input- there you can add languages to your key board or change the language for your phone.

S3 Keyboard w/number row

Hi guys, I just wanna start off by saying I'm not sure if this is the right section, so correct me if I'm wrong. I want a keyboard similar to Google's for nexus devices, noe on the play store, but 5 row. Yes, I mean a number row on the top. Is there an app like this or an apk? If there is, can someone share it? Thanks.

I know there are keyboards in the store that have this. I know PerfectKeyboard does. With it I'm pretty sure you can display it all the time.

The only keyboard that I know of with the number row on top is the note2 keyboard. You can download it (or try nearly every other one) from the ported apps link in my sig. I dont even know of any like that in the play store either.
Ok, sorry, PK doesn't have it as a default option. I was thinking of the arrow keys. However, you can edit the punctuation in the suggestion bar to be numbers instead of punctuation. Only drawback is when you are typing a word it shows suggestions instead. Or you could turn that feature off.
