Hi,
Windows XP provides font support for displaying, editing, and printing
multilingual documents. To read and type in another language, you have to
install that language on your computer, which really just installs the
fonts necessary to render text in that language. Then start typing in an
application that supports multilingual documents. First, here's how to
install additional languages in Windows XP so that you can use them to
write multilingual documents:
Click Start, click Control Panel, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional
Options, and then click Regional and Language Options.
On the Languages tab, click Details to open the Text Services and Input
Languages dialog box,
Click Add to install an input language and keyboard layout, and then click
OK.
The input language is the language in which you want to type, and the
keyboard layout describes the type of keyboard that you're using to input
that language. For example, if you want to input Russian using a US
keyboard, click Russian in the Input Language list and click US in the
Keyboard layout/IME list. Don't forget to install the fonts on the
Languages tab (complex for Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, or Asian for Chinese
and other Asian languages.) Select Install files for complex script (for
hebrew).
Click OK to save the language settings, and click OK to save the regional
settings.
Now that you've installed the languages in which you want to enter text,
you have to know how to switch between those languages while you're typing.
This is the same taskbar you use on a daily basis, but now it has a
language indicator next to the notification area, in this example the RU
for Russian.
You can change the current input language using this indicator in two ways:
Click the indicator and then click one of the installed input languages.
Press the Left Alt + Shift keys to cycle through the installed input
languages
