This article may be helpful :
http://www.erning.net/en_US/archives/000003.html
The article is based on Fedora, but basically Chinese on an English
system includes the following steps:
(1)locale installation
(2)fonts installation
(3)input method installation and configuration
BTW, maybe your wife can help you with reading Chinese posts on the internet :)
