There are other input methods based on the shape of the characters. Some are better with traditional Chinese characters, other with simplified characters, it's complicated... Let see if some Chinese comrade share with us his daily life experience. The Japanese is input writing kana directly with a Japanese keyboard or by romaji with roman characters on western keyboards (ka -> か, &c) and then transformed to kanji when necessary. There are different IMEs, but the principle is the same. I suppose that ktrans is similar, I haven't tried jet.
