Can't use Fcitx in latest version Skype

I am not sure why can't I use Fcitx IM in latest version Skype(4.3.0.37)
Maybe it is useful, notice that I am using Cinnamon DE
I use Fcitx to type chinese,
and I have already installed all fcitx module (gtk2,gtk3,qt4,qt5)

my ~/.xinitrc

...
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export XIM=fcitx
...

locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

When I launch Skype with cinnamon menu's launcher, I can't use type chinese word with Fcitx (but the GUI of Fcitx is appear)
also same when I launch with Plank dock.

I try to launch Skype in my terminal, also not work, but it return some warnning:

(process:2975): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(skype:2975): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

(skype:2975): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

Then I try to run

 LANG=C skype 

in terminal...
And it works... I have no idea why it works.
It is not my expected result...I want it works when I click Skype icon in cinnamon menu's launcher.
Anyone have ideas?
Thank You very much.

Forget to metion:
I write a script, just like

#!/bin/bash
export LANG=C && skype

then add this script to the cinnamon menu launcher and run.
...still not work...(´;ω;`)
