IME on Windows 2000

Windows 2000 provides full-featured IME support in any localized language version. Therefore, you can install and use an IME on any version of Windows 2000, not just Windows 2000 localized for Asian languages.

IMM is enabled only when the user has installed an Asian language pack on Windows 2000. An IME-enabled application can call the GetSystemMetrics function with SM_IMMENABLED to determine whether IMM is enabled.
