Have you tried to clear data for the Chinese keyboard? If not, give it a try via Settings > Apps > Swipe to the tab "All" > Xperia Chinese keyboard > Clear data.

Hi,

Could you elaborate? How do you mean that it does not work? Are you unable to choose chinese keyboard via Settings > Language & input > Current keyboard Choose keyboards for example?

Yes, I have try to switch on the Chinese keyboard funtion in setting, however, it only pop up a message "unfortunately, Xperia Chinese keyboard has stopped " when I try to type

Then I try to restart my mobile, but it doesnt help

Hi S-ova,

Are you also using Android 5.0? You got me confused when you say that this menu has many languages. When you tap at "Choose keyboards" you should as standard have three options: Xperia Chinese keyboard, Xperia Keyboard and Xperia Japanese Keyboard. Are you sure that you are not at the menu "Writing languages"?

Jamie,
Yes, I upgraded to Android 5.0.
In menu Chose Keyboard there is only one option "international keyboard Xperia".
Please see screenwriter below

I thought that Chinese language should be in menu writing languages, not in separate keyboard. But anyway there is no option to chose another keyboard or chose Chinese language in international one.
