Chinese (PRC / Pinyin) | Chinese (Taiwan / Bopomofo / Cangjie / Dayi) | Japanese | Korean | Detailed Settings

(Note that language bar graphics vary with different versions of Windows)

• Introduction
  All Gallagher Law Library public computers support the display of Chinese (both simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean (CJK) text. No special settings are necessary to display CJK text, whether in the Gallagher Law Library catalog, or websites in East Asia.
  
  Input for CJK languages is also available on Gallagher library public computers. Input of Chinese using pinyin and Japanese using romaji are both possible with the standard QWERTY keyboard layout on all Gallagher Library computers. Keyboards with special key overlays are necessary for input of Chinese using Bopomofo (zhuyin fuhao / 注音符號), Cangjie (倉頡), Dayi (大易), or Korean using han'gul / 한글.
  
  Please see below for details.
• Input CJK with MS Windows IMEs (Input Method Editors)
  To select the IME for your CJK language on Law Library Public Computers,
  Do the following:

  • Left-click the language icon on the Windows taskbar (lower right). Look for the two-letter symbol circled here in red. Usually, this will be set on EN (English)
    

  • Select your language from the list that pops up (see below; defaults to EN):
    CH Chinese (Taiwan) [For Bopomofo (zhuyin fuhao / 注音符號), Cangjie (倉頡), Dayi (大易) input]
    KO Korean [For Han'gul / 한글 input]
    JP Japanese [For Romaji / ロマジ / romanized Japanese input]

  (Available on all public computers)
  After selecting CH (PRC) for the Chinese PRC input mode, you will be able to type in Chinese using pinyin romanization.
  
  • Simplified/Traditional Characters with the CH (PRC) Language Bar
    • The CH (PRC) language bar defaults to the simplified form of Chinese characters (简体字).
    • To input the traditional form of Chinese characters (繁體字) by typing pinyin romanized Chinese with the CH (PRC) language bar, add the "Charset" tool to the language bar by  selecting the down caret on the language bar, and clicking on "Charset" or "Character Set". This will add the simplified/traditional toggle to the CH (PRC) IME. Click the charset icon (circled in red below) to switch between simplified and traditional input.

This will "float" the language bar, and provide more options, such as a soft keyboard, traditional/simplified (简体字 / 繁體字) toggle button for Chinese (see above), the IME Pad (for drawing characters for input with the mouse), etc. The language bar floats by default at the top right of the screen. You can drag it to any other location, as needed.
