Typing Chinese Characters

[small]

Carrotree:

Hi, if you look at the taskbar of windows (at bottom of the screen where the \"start\" button is). At the bottom right hand corner, you can see the words \"EN\", click on it and you should be able to to see \"CH\" being offered. Select \"CH\" to select the chinese language and you should be able to input chinese characters by han yu pin yin.


Cheers!

hi tianzhu.

Hope this helps.

You have to do the below instructions first in order allow you to select what Carrotree had mentioned.

1) Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options

2) Under Regional and Language Options, please click on 'Language' tab

3) Under 'Language' tab, click on 'Details' button -> 'Settings'

4) You will see 'Installed services', click on 'Add' taht will bring you 'Add Input language'; input language : Chinese (PRC), keyboard layout/IME : Chinese (Simplified)-Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 or Chinese (Simplified)-US keyboard.

After this, pls follow what carrotree had mentioned.

On the iPhone you can actually write the Chinese Characters, my wife loves this feature! And in the new Mac OS coming out in September, Snow Leopard this will also be possible.


Used to be back in the Windows 95 days you needed extra software such as Twinbridge to enter Chinese, but since Windows XP you have not. Very easy to set up, just download the language pack after doing the settings in Windows and your set.

Maybe, you can go to Regional Languages.There is a link to How can I install additional languages?

[Yong HL]
