The following doc might help:

https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/localization/keyboard-multiple-layouts.md

No idea if Chinese input packages are installed by default on your appVM
template though, you might want to check that if something doesn't work.

Any luck? I idid reinstall fedora 28 template, and install "fedora workstation", but still the same.

This happened to me, too, I Googled around and found setting an environment variable would make the Settings panel/app work:

[user@fedora28vm ~] env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

(I re-typed the above while looking at another machine rather than copy/paste hopefully no typos!)

This issue, plus the weird long list of apps on the Qubes menu submenu for fedora-28 templatevm scared me off using this template VM, which I created following the docs on the site (but I went from 26->28 directly, which docs say should work). So I still use fedora-26 for all but 1 appVM.
