(Get the code!)
@Ikuya, thanks for the translations, and good to know your opinion.
About the status bar, I would recommend to consider dropping it as in OS X (verified default Japanese input method in it just now).
It's a long history that all Pinyin (the most popular way of inputing Simplified Chinese) engines have their own status bar, indicating some status information and let people be able to switch/toggle them by clicking on it. But in recent years its fading out, and on OS X they removed status bar for all languages altogether, not mentioning many Chinese input method vendors are discovering the possibility of halving the size of candidate box by making use of pre-edit extensively.
This is also true for most (if not all) languages in GNOME and KDE when we using their native implementations of input method UI (gjs-implemented UI, kimpanel plasma widget). So Unity desktop could be the last major one on Linux that's still displaying status bar, and it's a good chance of changing it at the same time of switching default input method framework.
