Rachida,

In the past, people used TwinBridge and NJ Star, but nowadays these 
are not needed any more.  Both Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X can 
handle multi-languages, including Chinese.  You just need to set it 
up through control panel or system preferences.  With that, you can 
just use Microsoft Word to do Chinese word processing.    Google also 
provides a free Chinese Pinyin Input method, which I like a lot.  You 
can download it at http://tools.google.com/pinyin/
