This should be quite easy if you only use English and Chinese (i.e., no
european language or other asian language) and use UTF-8 encoding. All
you need to do is to configure the input method correctly.

Not that I know of. Actually I even don't know any good Chinese Howto
documents.
As the maintainer of scim packages, I would suggest you to look at it.
It is a nice input method platform, and with scim-chinese package you
can input Chinese in all various applications while keep English
interface. I've just written an English user's manual in version
0.9.7-3 (will enter sarge pretty soon) thanks to Osamu Aoki's help, hope
you'll find it helpful.
