Because it'll cover more languages? In that case you might just be
able to change s/Chinese/CJK/. Another approach would be to say "a
graphical interface to support [character input in] writing systems
such as Chinese [or...]".

I'd better doublecheck: does that phrase "back-end UIs" make sense?

Then I definitely can't say just that it has "intuitive graphical
configuration tools for customizing skins and mapping tables" without
summarizing its other configurable features; I'd be better off leaving
it as in the quoted version above. Or of course it could be
"intuitive graphical configuration tools for customizing skins,
mapping tables, and many other features."
