Typing Chinese characters on iPad keyboard

I'm using it right now。Go to Settings ﹥ Keyboards ＞ International ＞ Add new Keyboard ＞ Find Chinese - Simplified Pinyin and you got it！I'm trying to get used to typing in QWERTY than in AZERTY and clicking on the English not-so-wide ones。

i added simplified chinese (pinyin) in my ipad 2. but when i go to docs to go it doesnt work. anything i need to do?

it works in my iphone. when i write li for example and click on the chinese word suggestion it doesnt show up. it is followed by another word (to complete the phrase) and when i click that word, it shows up.

It depends, ¿Which iOS are you running? ¿Simplified or Traditional?

i am using ios 5.1.1 on my ipad2. when i use it in other apps it works. it doesnt work only in docs to go (word). but it works for the powerpoint & excel part. am using simplified chinese pinyin. any suggestions? reinstall docs to go?

I'm not sure if you're still having this problem, but to change keyboard layouts, I think you hit Command + Space.
Please ignore my previous posts. I was not mature at that time.

There's no command key on an iPad. To change keyboards, you press the "globe" key.

Thanks, guys. Maybe I've not made myself very clear. I'm referring the Keyboard dock, not the built-in keyboard on iPad. Help appreciated.

The original author explicitly stated that he was referring to a physical keyboard he/she had connected to his/her iPad, not the on-screen keyboard.

Good point! Starting with iOS 9, language switching on a hardware keyboard is done via Control + Space (or a Globe key if it is present).
