Chinese On Mac?

Heys all...I know how to activate the chinese input on Mac, but I cant type in...why? o_O

system preferences -> international -> enable chinese and the respective input method.
u can also set it to show on the menu bar so u can see wat is the active input language/method. -

U should hv see this Icon on the righthand side of menu that says ITABC. Fire up ya TextEdit app, use hanyupinying and u see some words appear for u to choose.

1*. on ur menu bar, click on the US flag.
2*. select "open international ".
3. u should see the international preferences. click on "input menu" tab.
4. scroll down until u see "simplified chinese ". turn it on and "ITABC" (hanyu pinyin) shld be enabled as a default option.
5. typing it out.... type "hanyupinyin" without spaces...
then press space
then press 1 (pinyin has only 1 match)
note 1: to change between input methods, until access the US flag above again or set a shortcut to it in international preferences page.
note 2: the key to execute a search of characters is space. enter does not work for some reason. and for the tone, i dunno how to set also, i just scroll thru all of them. since the characters i use are quite common, it wasn't a problem actually.
and there are many many languages pre-installed in the mac os x for u to play with.
* the alternative to steps 1 and 2 is apple icon -> system preferences -> international.
