| 278524 | 2004-10-05 21:25:00 | My friend has a computer with XP (English) installed; and he wants to be able to input Chinese when using Internet Explorer for Search, etc . Is it possible? Or, he needs some third party program to perform this task? I understand that there are some programs like 'Richwind' and 'Nanji Star' which will solve this problem . Is there any free ware for this? Cheers |

| 278525 | 2004-10-05 22:13:00 | I use nj star communicator.Even though after 30 days you need to register but the program is still useable.Just that everytime you enter the program it asks you to register.You click ok and goes to the main interface of the program letting you choose what to do. My sister uses a different program .Let me go text my dad and see what she used. Nj star communicator is based on mandarin pronounciation.Richwind is base on cantonese.I used it and it didn't work. The program which my sister used lets you choose the stroke to find the corret character instead of typing the mandarin pronounciation for the word |

| 278526 | 2004-10-05 22:57:00 | Thanks, yingxuan. Would you be able to key in Chinese characters in IE with NJStar? I tried to enable XP's built-in language settings from Control Panel and after re boot, it seems to be working. Unfortunately I don't know how to type Chinese to confirm that. Anyway, will let my friend know about it. Cheers |

| 278527 | 2004-10-06 04:01:00 | XP's inbuilt software will let you input Chinese into IE, Outllook Express, or any Microsoft Office App. I don't know how to do it off the top of my head, but it is easy, and just needs a lot of fiddling around with settings. | somebody (208) | ||
| 278528 | 2004-10-06 04:17:00 | My sis use a program call nine square.You have to know how to write the character inorder to use it. You pick the strokes out of the nine square that it shows and the program narrows down further into 9 more square with 9 different strokes.Eventually you end up with the right character |

| 278529 | 2004-10-06 11:29:00 | 1 . goto control panel/Regional and language options 2 . select the language tab, click on "details" under text service and input languages 3 . in the settings tab, click add in "installed sevice" and choose chinese . in the keyboard layout there is the types of input, depends on the input u want . also, if the above options is not available, goto control panel/Regional and language options/ in the languages tab, tick the "install files for east asian languages and select all the chinese fonts that u can find and go back to step 1" the builtin text is actually works much better than the other chinese softwares, especially njstar . |
