How to install languages other than the default ones (v4)

My main language is Chinese, but OOBE does not allow me to install Chinese. How should I install it? Because I know this is an immutable system, I think it may not be possible to install the language directly, so I came to ask

you can install the fonts via system.yaml and set the language in settings if extra locales are needed, do some sed operations in system.yaml then run locale-gen in system.yaml

I'm interested in this too. Have you managed to get the fonts, locales, and input methods set up? My idea is to set it up in the user's space, atop the immutable part of the system, so the language settings are working all the time. Haven't tried it yet -- maybe I'll go for it this weekend. Setting up Fcitx5 was a pain on Debian, whatwith a lot of small tweaks and restarts necessary.
