I tried inputting chinese words like "一" to text-trigger "一二三四五六七八九十"
But it seems text expansion is only workable for english letters.
Is it possible to configure to use Chinese words as trigger as well?

THanks!

Text expander in principle work by monitoring keyboard events. Could you try changing your keyboard setting?
Which keyboard, language and input settings do you use?

Hi Marko, thanks for your reply.

I am a novice user. How should I adjust for the keyboard setting?

My default PC language is "Traditional Chinese" .
I usually use "Microsoft ChangJie 10.1 " mode to input Chinese characters.
After that, I will switch to default "American English" keymode to type English.

Thanks a lot!

Input made by virtual keyboard will not work.

When entering the String in the Text Expander definition, try to use another (direct) keyboard. I tried with English and this works for me:
String: one (change to your abbreviation)
Substitute: 一二三四五六七八九十
