typing chinese (1 Viewer)

[ToO LaZy ^*]

anyone know of any programs that type chinese?..(other than NJStar)

i use to have a program called Q9, but the trial date expired and it won't let me reinstall..!

install windows xp...

go to microsoft website and search and grab their MUI packs (the language packs)...

install and change the language prefs and you can change it to Chinese PRC or Chinese TW.

yeah, i've done all that..but that only displays chinese...and not actually typing it...i think
unless i missed something..?

 

[Frigid]

hmmm... but the language pack i'm saying changes ALL of windows... you can choose to change all the language in Chinese... basically its a megaphatshit file... keep looking sorry

i've got it on CD tho.

A subthread..........how do you type chinese?
I know how to write and read and all that....but how the hell do you type?

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

with the keyboard i presume...lol
nah..there are keys that are assigned on each letter, so you're kinda building up a single word...blah blah...

there's many ways of inputting chinese into a comp.

one of the more interesting ways is using a tablet, which senses the brush strokes onto the screen and turns them into characters (this is assuming you can write, which i can't).

another way is to input pinyin and select the right character to use...

and finally another way, each number on your keyboard numpad is assigned to a stroke (vertical, horizontal, tick etc) and you punch in the order of the strokes which will select the right character.

yes i currently have the one where you write the character with your mouse, and several options are given...
but i really want the one using the keypad , ie Q9, it's so much faster and easy to use

you type pin yin... or if you are 1337 enough, u can do the short hand way... i think tis called wu bi...

*excuse my poor expressive
*blushes...

just use chinese windows with the chinese keyboard...the input method i use is "Chooksing" ٳ (can anyone see that?) its quite fast if you know what you're doing..maybe one word every on and a half seconds

OMG santaslayer!
ur chinese?? I never knew that!

 

[boredofschool]

I use to be able to type chinese but then I reinstalled my OS and when the person installed it he didn't install chinese on it and I don't have the XP cd so I can't install chinese on it.....I can read chinese but not type....is the only way I can type, other than installing something like CStar, is to get a copy of the XP cd and install chinese??

 

[Seung.Hur]

You don't have to get Windows XP in order to type Chinese. All you need to find from the Microsoft website (use their search feature) and search for "Chinese IME". Download it, extract, install, open it if it requires opening; and usually there will be a language menu, in the menu bar; or floating on screen somewhere. Usually it will only display in areas like this: the typing area!

And the Korean with a huge interest in Chinese takes his leave~~
