412313 2005-12-13 08:34:00 How do I add Chinese input to my XP Pro (English)? I did this before on a friend's computer and it works well. Unfortunately, I can't remember how to do it on this computer. Went to Language/Regional settings in Control Panel but just could not get it done correctly. :blush: I remembered at that time, after successfully added the Chinese input, a little toolbar (or icon) is created at the bottom right corner of the desktop where I could select the type of input I desired.

Can someone who knows how to do it walk me through?

Cheers

412314 2005-12-13 08:41:00 Greetings, bk T. I had just recently installed the East Asian language pack on my home computer. Under the Regional and Language Options, click the tab "Languages" and place a tick beside the option "Install files for East Asian languages". Click OK and wait for a while for the installation to complete. Then, right-click the clock and point to Toolbars and select Language Bar. Right-click the bar and select Settings. Click Add Language and select Chinese PRC and specify how are you going to input the characters (i.e. keyboard etc.). After you have done, change the input from English to Chinese. Hope this helps.

Cheers :)

P.S. I reckon Chinese (QuanPin) is easier to be used to input characters than Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0

I was playing around with MUI at work today in my Microsoft training, I can see it being useful stuff :)

Thanks JamesKan. Got it added. I agree that MS Pinyin is not so flexible to use. How do I install 'Chinese (QuanPin)?

412317 2005-12-18 08:25:00 Hello BKT. Sorry for not replying soon enough to your previous post. Right-click the language bar, click settings. Then select Chinese (PRC) and click add under the selection of keyboard. Attached along with this post is a screenshot of what is happening: link (img215.imageshack.us)

QuanPin is indeed more flexible to use.
