flameproof Posted May 10, 2009 at 04:26 AM Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 at 04:26 AM I am considering to switch to English Win7 RC1. Can it write Chinese? How about the usefull add ons, Chinese-PeraKun? ZDT? Everything working fine? For those who haven't tried, you can D/L free of charge from microsoft.com and it will work till July 2010 or so.

aristotle1990 Posted May 13, 2009 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 at 06:00 PM Search for "Region and Language", click on "Change keyboards", and then click "Add...". Pick whatever IME you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:06 PM Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 at 02:06 PM (edited) I installed English W7. Now I got the language bar and can switch between English and Chinese (PRC). You need to try some different IME to make it work. The Microsoft IME work fine. In another development: Chinese Perakun works as normal (Firefox addon) W7 displays also Chinese in the browser without any special add-ons. English QQ 2009Beta works also fine, can read and write Chinese. Edited May 14, 2009 at 02:37 PM by flameproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameproof Posted May 17, 2009 at 12:52 AM Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 at 12:52 AM It seems that I can't switch between trad. & simpl. in the Chinese CN group. That was an option in the Xp IME. Or did I overlooked something (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalope Posted April 2, 2010 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 at 04:47 PM I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate as well as additional input languages for Chinese simplified & traditional. The thing is, I have the language bar set to CH Chinese (Simplified, PRC) input, but cannot figure out how to enter Chinese characters. I've never used this feature before, as I'm a beginning student of Mandarin. Any help? Microsoft wants to charge me to ask for help on this.

Jackalope Posted April 3, 2010 at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 at 10:24 PM Thanks for your help. I had the keyboard set to "Chinese Simplified US Keyboard" thinking that this meant 'Method for using a US style keyboard to write simplified Chinese characters". 现在我懂!谢谢!
