3.9 Special considerations when working with East Asian texts.
Requirement
To author or correct texts in Japanese, Chinese or Korean, you will need to have installed
the corresponding expansion package for the operating system.
Checking the system installation
Open the dialog box "Regional and Language Options" via "Start" → "Settings" → "Control
Panel".
Check the "Languages" tab to see whether the option "Install files for East Asian languages"
has been selected.
You will not usually need the installation CD to reinstall the files for East Asian languages
in Windows XP, as the files are already present on the hard drive in compressed form.
You will, however, require Administrator Rights to perform the installation.
Input
An Input Method Editor (IME) is used for inputting. This is a tool which is used to put together
the pictograms on a European keyboard and can be activated analogously to a keyboard
assignment.
You will normally need a translator who speaks the target language as his/her mother tongue
to operate the IME system.
There is no need to have a Windows operating system in the target language.
