I make this addon module to support input Chinese in xbmc. python developers can import this addon to input Chinese. and I think the better way is change the internal keyboard to addon, so we can select custom keyboard addon to support input any language we want.

Source code manage in project xbmc-addons-chinese.

Download version here
script.module.keyboard.chinese-2.0.2.zip

And install "script.module.keyboard.chinese-xxx.zip" from XBMC Addons Manager and select "Install from zip file"

This module use Baidu Online Pinyin IME (http://olime.baidu.com/) to input Chinese words.

Usage:
1. Add required import in your addon.xml

Code:

<requires>
    . . .
    <import addon="script.module.keyboard.chinese" version="1.0.0"/>
</requires>

2. Normal Use ChineseKeyboard

Code:

import ChineseKeyboard
default=''
heading='中文输入法'
keyboard = ChineseKeyboard.Keyboard(default,heading)
keyboard.doModal()
if (keyboard.isConfirmed()):
    input_string = keyboard.getText()
