I concur with Martin's point: The Language Selector's second tab does
update /etc/default/locale $LANG to the new language.
This is sufficient to enabling iBus, if you follow the right steps.
The result is that unity-2d Search box (and elsewhere) supports iBus
through the UI, as follows:
In Language Support:
* Tab 1: Install Chinese/Simplified translations, input methods, and fonts
* Tab 1: Apply System-Wide button
* Tab 1: Select iBus in Keyboard Input Method System combo.
* Tab2 (named "Regional Formats" in en _US"): Select Chinese and Apply.
* Reboot/Relogin
* Ctrl + Space enables /disables iBus
It is arguably a UI design issue that one needs to separately enable input
methods after already doing these steps:
A) Language tab > install/Remove Languages button > Input Methods checkbox
B) Language tab > Keyboard input method system combo > ibus selection
Enabling input methods also seems somewhat hidden since it occurs on
Region Formats tab, whose text discusses Number, Date and Currency
formats but that does not mention input methods.
