I've just bought a play book for my wife, who is Chinese. Out of the box, Chinese is not supported, in that you can't view the user interface in Chinese or enter Chinese text, although I understand that websites containing Chinese text will display properly. There is a Chinese IME (Input Method Editor) in the app world, but you have to pay for it.

Poor show from RIM on this, I can't think of any other OS where you'd need to pay for an IME. Mac OS X included free, Windows free, Linux free obviously, Android free, IOS - don't know for sure, but would be surprised if it wasn't free.
