Chinese and Japanese Keyboards

What do you think the Chinese/Japanese keyboards are like?

Are they the same as ours, but the letter come out different or what?

re: Chinese and Japanese Keyboards

I have a Chinese keyboard.
They're pretty much exactly the same but if you press ALT it changes different combinations of letters into Chinese characters.

I just use a regular keyboard. I cannot type chinese so I just write them out.

re: Chinese and Japanese Keyboards

You use those writing pads right?
I guess that answers the question in the OP. People type Asian languages with installed language programs or pads.

As far as I know, Chinese and Korean keyboards have the same alt = character changing thing (you don't even need a specific keyboard either, just install a program). I have yet to use a Japanese keyboard, but I'm sure it wouldn't differ. This is probably the most practical system.

re: Chinese and Japanese Keyboards

Yup, but I dont use it. I use this program called NJ Star Chinese Pen which allows me to write with my mouse.
Do you need to install a program in order to type chinese?

Chinese Keyboards are for winners


Japanese not so complex though since there is a fixed amount of Hiragana and Katakana symbols.

re: Chinese and Japanese Keyboards

That Japanese keyboard very similar to my Chinese keyboard I have and the Korean keyboards I used in PC Bangs. QWERTY with few extra keys and symbols under the English letters.

There are a bunch of different ways:
quote using pinyin
1.2.3 Installation on English Windows XP

* On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
* Double-click the Regional Options icon.
* After choosing "Regional and Language Options," change to the "Languages" tab then click "Details" button.
* From the "Installed Services" group, highlight "Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a".
* Then click "Properties..." From the "Setting" tab.
* Choose "Legacy IME" from the "Input Method Setup" group.
* Change to the "Keyboard Mapping" tab, then choose "HanYu Pinyin" and click "OK" as many times as necessary.
On my keyboard changes language when I press ALT. I don't remember I had to install a specific program but I think this should do it.
