As omy is a bilingual news and interactive portal, inputting Chinese characters is not essential, but enabling it would allow you interact with other site visitors using both Chinese and English if you choose to.
Enabling Chinese input is quick and easy, there are only a few steps you need go through to install the Chinese Language support and input method before you can type Chinese.
Option #1) USING GOOGLE PINYIN PLUGIN for Internet Explorer: Goto This Link to Download Google Pinyin. Thanks, FM, for the tip!
Option #2) USING WINDOWS XP: We have broken the steps to 3 different sections for your easier to read and follow. The steps are written based on Windows XP, and the configuration is similar with other version of Microsoft Operating systems.
Step I – Install East Asian Languages
Depending on the selections you choose when installing Windows XP, you may or may not have East Asian Languages installed. Follow these steps to check whether or not your computer supports East Asian languages.
* From Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
* Double-click Regional and Language Options
* Click on the Languages tab
– If “Install files for East Asian languages” under “Supplemental language support” section is checked, then you can skip to the step II.
– If the box is NOT checked, you need check on the box of “Install files for East Asian Languages”, then click Apply button to do the install.
You may need your Windows XP CD. Installing these files will allow you to use Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in your computer.
Step II – Add Services for Typing Chinese
* After East Asian Languages pack is installed, click “Details” button under the Languages tab of Regional and Language Options.
* On the Settings tab of the new window, Click Add.
* In the “Input language” list, select Chinese (PRC) for simplified characters. You can add other input languages as well.
* To install Chinese Pinyin Input Method In the same window, from the “Keyboard Layout/IME” list, select Chinese (PRC)- Chinese (Simplified) – Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0
* Click Apply
After this step, your settings configuration should look like the screen shot displayed here:
Step III – Use Your Keyboard to Type Chinese Characters
After installing East Asian support and adding services for Chinese, you are ready to input Chinese onto the website. You may also use it to type Chinese into your word-processor or email programs.
* On your Toolbar at the bottom right hand side, you should see a language bar, letters “EN” for English, “CH” for Chinese
* Click this button to change languages or use ALT+SHIFT key combination to switch between languages.
– By switching to the Chinese setting, you can now type Chinese characters in most software applications and browses using Pinyin and/or accent numbers(1-4).
– Use the ARROW KEYS to toggle between characters or type the number next to the character to choose the one you need.
– To temporarily switch between typing Chinese and English, you can simply press the SHIFT key on your keyboard.
And that’s it! You’re ready to work on Chinese now!
Once you are familiar with the basics, you can add other Keyboard Layout/IME options, e.g. Chinese(Simplified) – Neima, Chinese(Simplified) – Quanpin, Chinese(Simplifed) – Shuangpin, etc.

要为那些使用mac的服务哦。虽然mac的安装简单多了，但是使用起来不是很方便。大家只要通过Finder找International的control panel，然后寻找中文的输入法，就可以输入了。以上是凭印象打出来的，所以不是很清楚，要劳烦你了。=)

用鼠标器手写输入汉字。Use mouse to handwrite and input Chinese characters.
任何人若希望除了应用汉语拼音外，也能用手写方式输入中文字，那么，建议他们不妨考虑下载《逍遥笔》，一个让人们利用鼠标器手写输入汉字的免费软件。

各位网友：小的是初学者，乱按乱按跑到這里來．看到有几位朋友也不太熟悉汉语拼音，也因为我也是新鳥所以到處找有关的〔汉语拼音表〕幸運的找到了、《韵母、單韵母、声母表》但声母表只是幇助进展並不能速成．如朋友们有需要当奉上．
31 credit loans // Sep 21, 2010 at 4:51 am
Have no cash to buy some real estate? Do not worry, because that’s available to take the business loans to work out such problems. Hence take a credit loan to buy everything you require.
