Laanfor We already have some basic support (though we don't document it). You can see some of the snippets here: https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/288

Essentially you just have to provide a "locale":"zh" to any field containing Chinese text. I've not yet gotten a chance to review the feedback on that Github issue from another community member. But I gather that it works reasonably well.
