The Current Input Timing Is Not Supported by the Monitor Display Black Screen

How do I type Chinese on Mac? Contratry to what a lot of peopel think, Chinese don't use a Chinese keyboard. In fact, most of them use a standard Roman alphabet keyboard with QWERTY layout. They use the IME (input method editor) to type Chinese. Just try to type something on ChineseInput.net, you will get what I meant.
My mac has several input methods (English, Chinese) When I open terminal / iterm2, I want the input method to switch to English automatically. When I open skype or chat messenger, I want the input method to switch to Chinese automatically.

Chu Bong-Foo invented a common input method in 1976 with his Cangjie input method, which assigns different 'roots' to each key on a standard computer keyboard. With this method, for example, the character 日 is assigned to the A key, and 月 is assigned to B. Typing them together will result in the character 明 ('bright').
