Well we have Chinese FAQ in English too. it is at:
http://people.debian.org/~ygh/en/html/noframes/

I see you are from France. A French translation won't
hurt either. :)

The FAQ talked about how to use xcin and chinput. 
xcin also have its document in English:
/usr/share/doc/xcin/En/

chinput has a short English help from the Debian maintainer:
/usr/share/doc/chinput/README.Debian

cxterm might be easier, but xcin and chinput let you input
Chinese in other applications.

Yes, the problem is that it will be harder to get help for cxterm if
it is not maintained. But you surely are free to make your 
own choice.

hmm... chinput is close to be abandoned as now. we will see.
