I suppose that the question is how to enter Chinese characters on a<br />
<br />
keyboard which only supports ASCII. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mahi,<br />
<br />
you need at least a program which maps multiple keystrokes on an ASCII<br />
<br />
keyboard to Chinese characters. There are different programs<br />
<br />
available for different operating systems but I never used one of them<br />
<br />
and thus can't advertise a particular program.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A cross-platform approach is to use Emacs. Emacs handles such things<br />
<br />
internally. You have to select an appropriate "input method" for<br />
<br />
Chinese. In the menu bar, select:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Options => Mule (Multilingual Environment) => Select Input Method<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then type the word "chinese" (without the quotes) and press the <TAB><br />
<br />
key. Emacs displays a list of known input methods for Chinese then.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't understand Chinese, so you have to find out yourself which<br />
<br />
input method is appropriate for you. And as Bill already said, you<br />
<br />
have to be familiar with at least one Chinese input method.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another advantage of Emacs is that a single keystroke is sufficient in<br />
<br />
order to toggle input methods. Quite convenient if you have Chinese<br />
<br />
and Cyrillc in the same file.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.<br />
