Hi, I don't know how to type Japanese in Internet Explorer while running XP.
I am quite used to using global IME with ME, but it appears that with XP
everything is different? Can anyone help me out?
 
Hi Cory :-)

First, go here and see if it helps:

Also read the information here....this may give you what you need. There is
good reference to XP about midway.

Read down to the part on the XP references starting here: Hatsumi-chan
There is this program referred to there appears to no longer be free, but,
might be useful.

You can also add/install languages from your Windows CD

and...

Change Language in IE

Tools/Internet Options/ General Tab> at the bottom there is a button for
Languages> Look in the window for the language you want, highlight it and
then click Change. Then close out. Close and reopen IE and the new language
should now be the default language.

If the language you want in not in the window list, click the Add button and
scroll to the language you want, highlight it and then click OK, then
highlight the new language and click on Change.

While the language bar controls the active keyboard layout, the language
setting in IE controls the prefered language on websites. Some webservers
(like micosoft.com) take this setting
into account and display the content in the user's (prefered) language.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan, thanks for the very informative reply! I got things working. Turns
out all I had to do was go into the control panel, click on regional and
laguage options and then basically just turn on the IME from there. Much
easier than I thought it was.

Anyway, thanks again!
