Hello Markos,

Lazy way: there are dedicated task-packages to facilitate this:

didier@hp-notebook14:~$ apt search task-chinese
En train de trier... Fait
Recherche en texte intégral... Fait
task-chinese-s/stable,now 3.53 all  [installé]
  Simplified Chinese environment

task-chinese-s-desktop/stable,now 3.53 all  [installé]
  Simplified Chinese desktop

task-chinese-s-kde-desktop/stable 3.53 all
  Simplified Chinese KDE Plasma desktop

task-chinese-t/stable,now 3.53 all  [installé]
  Traditional Chinese environment

task-chinese-t-desktop/stable,now 3.53 all  [installé]
  Traditional Chinese desktop

task-chinese-t-kde-desktop/stable 3.53 all
  Traditional Chinese KDE Plasma desktop

So, just install what you need (simplified or traditional, in console, KDE or another Desktop Environment or Window Manager) , explore the menus of your X environment to find the GUI tool that permit you to set-up how/when you want to type chinese, and you are done :-)
