I just upgraded to Catalina. Weird Chinese Input occurred! I can only input single word! When trying to input 2 words, no more "underlined" and turned to english typing condition (input method still shown as Chinese)!



What's happening?

Same, no problem on my MPB with latest Catalina.
I use my MBP also to search in Chinese.

Only I use my MBP in the morning (now I'm using Windows for work), so I can show you the screen tomorrow if you want.

Just curious if it has to do with the "show predictive completion"

Thanks for feedback!

To my knowledge language file always bundled, and its just enable/disable to your language menubar...
there is online guide for remove manually/using tool, never seen 1 which re-add
did you tried to enable a different Chinese language?
since we have simplified and traditional

Could it caused by Catalina Installed on Unsupported Mac?

What's funny ? Third party keyboard Sogou solved the problem! What does it mean?
