For chinese display support, I found an excellent article on

    http://atlaspc3.physics.smu.edu/luliang/tcltk/

It talks about adding zh_CN support. For XIM input support,
there is a patch:

    ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/jp/tcltk8.3.1i18n.patch.tar.gz

But this patch is for tcl/tk 8.3.1 only, so not sure if it works on
any later versions. Besides, this patch is undocumented.

PS I haven't checked the status of i18n support in tcl/tk 8.3.4 or
   8.4.0 alpha.
