Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I found out yesterday that I cannot type Chinese on steam deck desktop mode. The language selection used to sync with the game mode version and can be found in steam client settings. Now it is all gone.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. In game mode open Chinese keyboard
  2. Switch to desktop mode
  3. Call on screen keyboard and you will see the earth Icon disappear.

I saw in SteamOS 3.8 mentioned that the issue is fixed so I try it but it's not.
