Follow Up Post - Input Methods Win2K
Just a quick note - I discovered that Windows 2000 (English version) does support input methods in Chinese AND it works with Swing. :)
There was some talk of using third-party software like njstar, but I guess it seems to be only needed in NON-Windows 2000 environments.
To activate Chinese Input methods on a pure English Windows 2000 -
Go to Regional Settings - Input Locales
Add: Input Language: Chinese (PRC)
with Keyboard/layout: Simplified@Chinese - ZhengMa
Now, your ready to type Chinese in Swing Windows too ...
I have'nt discovered 2 things yet -
- Why should the keyboard/layout be set to:
Chinese (PRC) - Simplified Chinese Zhengma?
Why does'nt
Chinese (PRC) - Chinese (Simplified) US Keyboard work?
Because the fact is I am using a US keyboard.
-- What the encoding of the text generated by Windows 2000 is and how do I read it?
When I go to IME Setting for: Chinese (PRC) - Simplified Chinese Zhengma it pops a Chinese window with GB2312 and GBK ... are these encoding methods? I thought Win2000 used only Unicode?
Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks Martin for some of your previous posts - they were helpful.
TIA,
Carlos
