IME is what gives your computer the ability to type Japanese.  back to topStep 5 (optional): Running Japanese Programs on Vista and Windows 7 After completing step 4 you will still be in the "Regional and Language" window. From here click the 4th tab on the top labeled "Administrative". Clicking this tab will display the following tab. This tab is the MOST IMPORTANT tab if you would like 100% Japanese support in all programs installed and or wish to install Japanese programs on your computer. Click on the "Change system locale..." button. NOTE: Using this setting can sometimes be frustrating because many software companies look at this setting and try to install the Japanese language version. If you can't read Japanese this might hinder your productivity a bit. You can always change this setting back to English, the install the software again. After installing you can change this back to Japanese so your other programs that require Japanese locale still work.
After clicking the "Change system locale..." button. The window below will pop up. Here you select "Japanese (Japan)".  back to topStep 6: Changing to Japanese Type Mode Now your computer can display and type Japanese in all programs installed. Open up Office Word, Word Pad, Note Pad to test typing in Japanese. With your cursor placed on a new document somewhere on your screen you will notice a Language Bar. Click the "EN English" and then select "JP Japanese (Japan)". This will change the Language Bar's appearance.
 back to top Step 7: Changing the Language Bar to display in English If you can't read Japanese you will want to change the language bar display to English. Click on  then the  option.  back to topStep 7B: Changing the Language Bar to display in English This window will be ALL Japanese, but don't worry because the next time you see this window it will be in English. There is a language selection menu in the  section. Choose  and then click "OK".After you click okay you will see that the Language Bar is now displaying in English, if you click "Tools" then "Properties" you can now see the IME properties in English.
back to topStep 8: Minimizing the Language Bar You do not need the language bar on the screen at all times to type Japanese. In step 10 you will learn some very handy shortcuts that allows you to keep the Language Bar hidden. To minimize the language bar right click on the far left portion of the language bar and click "Minimize". This will put the Language Bar near the clock in the Windows 7 task bar. From there you can easily change your input language.
 back to topStep 9: Typing in Japanese In any text editor or Office application you can now type Japanese. Make sure that you have selected Japanese in the Language Bar.  back to topStep 9B: Typing in Japanese When you first enter Japanese mode your computer might still be in "Half-width Alphanumeric" mode, which is the long way to say "English typing mode". Change this to "Hiragana". Even though you are choosing Hiragana, you will type Japanese using English letters. This is where the fun begins.  back to topStep 9C: Typing in Japanese with English letters Once you are in the correct input mode in your document, let's type a practice word. Type "kanji". You will notice right away that once you type "ka" Hiragana replaces it.
Step 9D: Converting Hiragana into Kanji If you are okay with this "Hiragana" only word you can simply hit "enter" to accept. Hit the space bar 1 time to display the most common Kanji for the underlined hiragana. Every time you hit the space bar a different selection will display. Once you find the one you like hit "enter". NOTE: You can also type the number next to the selection to choose it.
back to topStep 9E: Typing full sentences in Japanese You do not have to choose kanji word by word when typing Japanese. IME is very smart when it comes to choosing the correct Kanji for your sentence. Contrary to popular belief almost all Japanese people use this method to type Japanese.
back to topStep 10: Japanese Language Bar shortcuts A big pet peeve of mine is watching people change the language bar settings by manually clicking on them. It's time consuming if you are switching back and forth a lot. You can easily switch language options and even input methods with the following short cuts. 1. Change language on the fly. ALT + SHIFT NOTE: Japanese mode default setting is normally "half width alpha numeric". You can change this in the language bar properties. OR you can quickly switch to hiragana mode with the shortcut below. 2. Change input type (Hiragana, Alpha-numeric) ALT + ~ NOTE: The '~' key is on the left side of the 1 key. This is handy if you are already in Japanese input mode and want to switch back and forth between typing English and Japanese. 3. Quick conversion After typing a word, before you hit enter you can force it into different versions using the function keys. F7 - Full width katakana F8 - Half width katakana F9 - Full width alpha numeric F10 - Half width alpha numeric (standard English text) HAVE FUN TYPING JAPANESE! yesjapan.com |
