Here's a close up of a Chinese Keyboard:

Depending on the software, you can enter Chinese Characters by typing the pronounciation of the character. (Chinese words are called characters. Each character has a meaning like "fish" or "apple" or "run" etc.) The pronounciation can be typed using romanised characters (the ones used in English) or using a Chinese Phonetic Alphabet. Once the pronounciation is typed, you can press a key (usually TAB or something like that) and it will list all the characters that have that pronounciation and then you can select the character that you want.
Contrary to what Lukipela said, Chinese does not have inflexions but it does have quite a lot of tones. Usually to type that in, you just type a number which specifies what tone is wanted.
That's what I have experienced so far trying to learn chinese.. It is a little bit slower then typing in English.  But I guess your speed improves after a while..

Hmm.. *Checks dictionary.com* 
I think inflection can be used to mean tones...
But I've only usually heard of it being used to mean the changing of a word or the end of a word to indicate tense (eg. speak -> spoke) and other things.

Well, as for Germany, I'm not sure whether there ever existed a German version of SCII, but I've never heard of it nor seen it. In the best case, they translated the manual, but I've never owned it, so...
But I'm working on a translation right now. Text files first to make it look like a subtitled original. Don't know if I'll ever be able to dub it a n d make it sound original, therefore I'll stick with the translation first.
What about other countries like Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, the U.S. & Canada

Hehe, I remember taking german class and figuring out you guys spell our country with a "K" instead of a "C". I thought maybe I was tripping out or something... hehe.
