I'm using Mint wish to iBus for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I am trying to add input methods from this menu:
Unfortunately the screenshot doesn't show it, but when I click the drop down menu ("Select an input method") all the choices are greyed out, and I cannot select them.
I installed many fonts for all the languages that I will be using. If there is any other information that anyone needs for them to help me out, please ask. I am also open to the idea of using other input methods (although I am most familiar with, and prefer, iBus).

Have you installed the relevant language support files via system settings applet of that name?
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.
“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

installing ibus-pinyin packet maually (sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin) seems to be a workaround. at least it works for me now for inputing chinese language. i installed mint 14 today, and had the same problem.
