does anyone know how you can have japanese writing on your computer?
11 Nov 2006, 21:06 #885
i think you have to go your computer settings and then change the language or you can go to a shop and ask them to change it for you

Hello again! :woot: I've been in the capital city all day working, i'm kinda tired but i'm happy coz i just saw Miku in this computer that IS NOT MINE... i just remembered i'm sad because of that... :shamefulcry: Well, kyoisshort, some days ago checking in all jdorama i found this forum: LEARN JAPANESE and the following topic: HOW TO TYPE IN JAPANESE WITH WIN XP AND WIN 2000. Anyways, here you have the following steps:

Ocha Orts wrote:First you need to be able to view Japanese text:

---FOR WIN XP---
STEP 1.) Open the Control and double-click on the "Regional and Language Settings" icon.
STEP 2.) Here are your current Regional settings. Click on the "Languages" tab.
STEP 3.) Make sure the check box labeled "Install files for East Asian Languages" is selected. If it is not selected, then check it now.
STEP 4.) Click on the "Advanced" tab.
STEP 5.) From the drop-down menu under "Language for non-Unicode programs", select "Japanese"
STEP 6.) Select APPLY and then OK to save the changes. A restart will be necessary, save all work and select YES to restart your system.
--------------------------------------

---FOR WIN 2K---
STEP 1.) Go to the Control Panel of Windows and select "Regional Options", double click it to open it.
STEP 2.) At the "General" tab, go to the "Language settings for the system" section and scroll down to select "Japanese".
NOTE: Do NOT change the language settings for the current USER, as that will also change your currency and other settings.
STEP 3.) Click on "Apply", to apply the settings. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW AND DO NOT REBOOT YET. The system will ask you for the Windows 2000 installation disk if the files are not already installed.
STEP 4.) Now click on "Set default..."
NOTE: The "Japanese" option will not appear here if you have not yet apply the changes from Step 2 to 3!
STEP 5.) At the "Select System Locale" dialog box drop down, select "Japanese" as the appropriate locale.
STEP 6.) Click OK to close this box, Click OK to save the Region settings and NOW, REBOOT THE SYSTEM.
--------------------------------------
Now we are ready to start seting up the typing

---FOR WIN XP---
STEP 1.) Right-click any open space on the taskbar. Point to Toolbars, then choose Language Bar.
STEP 2.) Right-click on the EN icon (or whatever is there) and choose Settings.
STEP 3.) This dialogue box will pop-up. Choose Add.
STEP 4.) Choose Japanese from the drop-down menu and click OK.
STEP 5.) Click "Key Setting"
That opens up Advanced Key Settings. Look in the Action part you'll see list of languages saying "Switch to ...." Here is where you assign a *specific* command to instantly switch to the languages you want.
STEP 6.) Click on "Switch to Japanese ...." to select it, then click "Change Key Sequence".
STEP 7.) Assign a combination you like.
STEP 8.) Press OK all the way out and test it. you should see your language bar on the buttom right changing (in my case I have Thai language too)
Now to switch the Japanese input mode.
STEP 9.) Select the key combination you have assigned in STEP 7 for Japanese and switch input mode.
You'll notice a capital A in it. If you don't see it, try drag your mouse to extend the language bar to the left. That "A" tells you that if you type anything right now, you'll ended up having ordinary english aphabets.
STEP 10.) To toggle the mode to input japanese character, press ALT+grave (the top left button in your keyboard which has ~ with it). On some keyboards, the key to toggle is maybe ALT+. (period).
The toggle should allow you to see the "A" change into a japanese letter. ("ah" in Japanese) This will allow you to type in Japanese. Now to test the configuration.
STEP 11.) Open a text editor and input Japanese by typing Romaji.
NOTE: It may become necessary to repeat step 9 through 10 again if Japanese hiragana does not appear.
STEP 12.) At the text editor, try it out by typing "kari". You will get a hiragana letter saying kari with an underline beneath it.
The underline is a unique function for japanese input system. it indicates the letters are still active.
STEP 13a.) To finish typing, simply press Enter and the underline will be gone. You will have "kari" in hiragana.
STEP 13b.) To convert the hiragana into Kanji/Katakana don't press enter yet. Instead press Spacebar.
Pressing spacebar once will convert the character in to the default kanji or katakana. Pressing the spacebar again a list will appear to allow you to choose the correct character. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the character you want.
STEP 14b.) Once you have selected the character you want, just press ENTER and the character will be selected.
--------------------------------------------

---FOR WIN 2K---
STEP 1.) Go to the Control Panel in Windows and select "Regional Options" and double click it.
STEP 2.) At the regional options dialog box, click on the "Input Locales" tab.
STEP 3.) At the "Installed Input Locales" click on the "Add..." button.
STEP 4.) At the "Add Input Locale" dialog, select "Japanese" for the "Input Locale" and "Japanese Input System (MS-IME2000)" Then click on OK. STEP 5.) Now at the regional options dialog box, go to the Hot Keys for Input Locale section, highlight "Switch to English" and click on the "Change Key Sequence..." button.
STEP 6.) Click on "Enable Key Sequence" and select the key combination you wish to use to quickly enable and return to English input. Then click OK.
STEP 7.) Now select "Switch to Japanese" and repeat STEP 5 and STEP 6 to assign the keys for Japanese.
STEP 8.) Now, at the regional options dialog, you want to change the IME Settings for Japanese. Press APPLY button at this dialog box to apply the settings set so far. The "IME settings..." button should be enabled when you highlight Japanese input.
STEP 9.) Click on "IME settings..."
STEP 10.) Now at the Microsoft IME 2000 settings page, click on the icon at the upper right of the dialog box that has the A letter with some color bars.
NOTE: Follow the next few steps VERY carefully, it will be somewhat complex.
STEP 11.) At the long list of key entries, scroll around and look for the IME On/Off setting
STEP 12.) Once you find the entry setting, look at the first column to see if the key required to toggle the Japanese input IME is in Japanese or not. If it is in Japanese and not some other key function (like CTRL+3 or CTRL+., etc.) then you will need to add a new key to use. Otherwise, if it is an English key function just cancel out of the Regional Options and go to STEP 17.
STEP 13.) Click on the Key add button.
STEP 14.) At the dialog box that opens up, at the drop down find the key combination "CTRL+." (Control and period). After you have it selected use your mouse to click OK. (Pressing Enter may change the key combination box to ENTER, which is not what you want.)
STEP 15.) Check to make sure that CTRL+. has been added to also trigger the IME.
NOTE: You will have two entries to toggle the IME, one is CTRL+. and the other is the original Japanese entry. This is normal.
STEP 16.) Click OK to all dialog boxes of the Regional Options dialogs until the Regional Options are closed.

Done~
