MORE INFORMATION

Input Method Editors (IMEs) are software utilities that convert keystrokes to characters in a language where the characters represent words or syllables. The MultiLanguage Pack includes IMEs for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

NOTE: Global Input Method Editors (Global IMEs) allow users running non-Asian versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system to type Asian text in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, and Internet Explorer. The Global IME is installed from the Global folder and the interface is in that language. If you need to use an IME with an English (US) interface, install the IME from the Regular folder.

To type Asian characters in a Microsoft Word document, click the Language Indicator located in the System Tray on the right side of the Windows taskbar, and click to select the language you want to type.

For example, if you installed the English language interface IME for Japanese, when you click the Language Indicator, you need to click to select Microsoft Japanese IME 2000 from the shortcut menu that appears.
