Automated addition of Chinese Pinyin keyboard options

I have Windows 7 x64 sp1 machines with both English and Chinese keyboards installed.  The Chinese keyboard is
Chinese (Simplified) - US Keyboard and was installed via regkey during the image process, using the input locale code for Chinese Simplified 00000804 
from here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766503(v=WS.10).aspx
I have  a request to add the Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New experience input, and Microsoft Pinyin ABC input styles, which are additional options when navigating to Region and Language-Change Keyboards-Add-Chinese (Simplified PRC)
There aren't locale codes for these, how can I add these selections to my windows 7 machines in Asia in an automated way, without having to touch each one manually? 
thanks in advance for any direction on this
Tony

Hi, Tony.
For Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New experience input the code is  E0210804, you can follow the same way here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766503(v=WS.10).aspx  
The Chinese ( Simplified )-Microsoft Pinyin ABC Input Style uses the same hex code 00000804 as well as the Chinese ( Simplified )-US Keyboard.
 The only differences are due to the Layout Display Name and the Layout Text. You could change it in the following registry location:
a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
b. Locate and click the following registry key:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000804
c. For the Chinese ( Simplified )-US Keyboard, the Layout Display Name sets the value: @%SystemRoot%\system32\input.dll,-5072
d. For the Chinese ( Simplified )-Microsoft Pinyin ABC Input Style, the Layout Display Name sets the value: @%SystemRoot%\system32\input.dll,-5076
e. By Default, the Chinese ( Simplified )-US Keyboard is configured for the Layout Display Name and the Layout Text. In order to configure the Chinese ( Simplified )
-Microsoft Pinyin ABC Input Style as the default input keyboard, you may write a script to modify the above registry file.
Regards

  • When I type ^6 on my Chinese Pinyin keyboard I get ⋯⋯(^.^)♪(´ε` )(^з^)-☆ How can I get this on my American and Japanese keyboards too??? (^з^)-☆

    Hi everyone,
    I am not learning Chinese now, so I really don't need the pinyin keyboard (Traditional), but I keep it around because I can easily get a list of emoji/emoticons just by typing '^6'.
    I use emoji often when I type in Japanese, but it is such a hassle having to switch to the Chinese keyboard...especially since I already have a few language keyboards that I *actually* need to use regularly. I took my Spanish keyboard off the list because I can do okay with an American keyboard, and would like to also remove the Chinese Pinyin keyboard, but I frequently use the ^_^ (^6) feature.
    On the iphone Japanese keyboard, emoticons are built in by clicking a '^_^' button, but I cannot find them for my life on my mac!
    Please help! I do not want to use the standard iphone emoji such as   ,  , and   . I would prefer to use the 'asian' emoji such as (^_^) and
    ☆〜(ゝ。∂)instead.
    Thank you!!
    PS: This is the only other thing I could find on the internet about this. I tried searching in English and Japanese.

    That is default behavior for OS X 10.7 and up, but it should only happen when you hold a key down for a while.  If it happens with a quick tap, the key may be damaged.
    To turn off, see

  • Chinese pinyin keyboard stopped working

    Hey guys! I just recently updated to iOS 7, everything worked fine at first. Now I can't use my pinyin keyboard to type in Chinese anymore. The handwriting keyboard works just fine, though. I removed the pinyin and hand writing keyboards, and re-added them. Didn't solve the problem.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem? What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Frame dropping when Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard pops up

    Almost all the Apps are effected by this issue in iOS 8.1, even you creating a new message can cause this noticable frame drop when Chinese Pinyin-10 key keyboard pops up.
    Note that:
    (1) This issue never occurs in iOS 7.1.X, 8.0 and 8.02, and full QWERTY keyboard is fine.
    (2) If turn on Settings->Accessibility->Increase Contrast->Reduce Transparency,  Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard also works fine.
    I have to use full keyboard instead now. Please fix this.

Connection to public wifi also problem while I put in the correct password it will keep on with searching icon but can't acess to the Internet. Pls help and I'd restored 3 times and the problems still remained.

    Re: iOS 4.3 Locked my factory unlocked iPhone 4!!  
       Apr 11, 2011 4:22 PM    (in response to John Doe 69) 
    Hi i just have seen your problem I had the same situation with 4.2.1 but this is not your upgrade to ios 4.3 . few months ago i bought a factory unlocked iphone from apple store at full price. I bring it home and then i activated it with my fido sim card everything was perfect .
    Then i send it to someone of my family in Morocco . When they received the phone they inserted a sim card and it said Invalid Sim card the iphone has been locked to Fido trough activation process went to appstore they did a check and they told me that infact it was unlocked and now it has been locked to fido ( Strange situation ) and then they told me to bring the phone and they will replace it but the phone was at 6000 Km so i had no choice i contacted fido to unlock it Because only fido and rogers can do this here in Canada so i paid 50 $ and send to them the proof of purchase and then they unlocked it trough itunes.
    What they told me at appstore they have a batch of phones in this situations but now it seems that the problem is fixed.
    Finaly for your information if you buy a brand new iphone from any career in canada you can activate it with any other carieer and it's gonna be locked to this career ( For example you can buy a brand new iphone from telus and for the first time you can use it with rogers and it will be locked to rogers ) Even if it s suposed to be a telus phone .
    I found this post. Oh my GODDDDD! If this is true then Apple is **** **** and so is Canadian carrier.

    Nobody in the forums can tell you why Apple has done this.  It really makes no sense at all.  You can tell them you want it elsewhere as well via

  • Write chinese pinyin on a French BB Q10

    Hi everyone,
    Here i'm faced with a weird problem.
    So I am the happy owner of a blackberry Q10 but as I am french, my phone keyboard is an AZERTY keyboard.
    No problem with that except when i try to type chinese pinyin, the keyboard starts to behave like it's a QWERTY keyboard. so  w becomes z, a becomes q ... which is not very cool.  Does anyone know how to fix that? 
    Thank you for any solution.
    Bye

    Hi...
    This seems to me the Hardware issue.. kindly take it to the store to get it fixed..
    Please update the result after applied..
    Thanks

  • Having problems with automator and setting up universal keyboard shortcut

    I have set up a service in automator to open quicktime, new audio capture, start capture. I named it "launch quicktime." I then when in to system preferences and went to the keyboard shortcuts section. I have tried in both services, and in application shortcuts to use my "launch quicktime" with the keyboard shortcut control + esc. I test it out in various applications and it doesn't work until I go to the top of said app for example safari and then go to services and select my launch quicktime. From that time on it works great. If I close safari and then relaunch it, it forgets that keyboard shortcut. What gives? I just want to be able to hit 2 keystrokes and have it launch quickime and begin an audio recording. Would greatly appreciate any help out there as to why it doesn't remember my keyboard shortcut.
    Cheers,
    Jon

    BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
    When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
    However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
    For more info, see THIS THREAD.

  • After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

  • Sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin)

    FrameMaker 10 (Windows)
    It seems that if I specify the sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin) on the reference page,
    index entries that start with "i" and "v" are not shown under their corresponding group titles.
    (I assume that this may be due to the fact that pinyin words never start with these letters.)
    If I have an entry that starts with an English word like "IP," it appears under the "J" group.
    I want the entry to appear under the "I" group. How can I do this?
    I have the IX reference page set up as follows:
    GroupTitlesIX paragraph
    Symbols[\];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$pinyin>
    I've also tried:
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$pinyin>
    Thanks in advance.
    Tak Osato

    I sort of found a workaround, but it may lead to other problems, so use it at your own risk.
    It also requires a bit of work.
    The idea is to use the sort order for Japanese by specifying the following in the IX reference page.
    Symbols[\ ];数字[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;あ;い;う;え;お;か;き;く;け;こ;さ;し;す;せ;そ ;た;ち;つ;て;と;な;に;ぬ;ね;の;は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;ま;み;む;め;も;や;ゆ;よ;ら;り;る;れ;ろ;わ;ん;[ ]
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$kana>
    Then, you need to capitalize the first letter in the bracket used for sorting for every index entry.
    Example:
    Instead of
    画面[hua4mian4]
    specify
    画面[Hua4mian4]
    Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a search and replace on all index entries to capitalize the first letter...

  • Third-party keyboard option is not available

    hi,
    in the General > Keyboard > Add New Keyboard... i don't see the THIRD-PARTY KEYBOARDS option.
    i have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8. i have installed iOS 8 (upgrade and clean install) and set my iPhone as new.
    i am wondering why i don't see this option.
    thank you for the reply,

    Third-party keyboards are in the App Store. To use one, download it, then run the app. Then you can go to Settings->General->Keyboard-Add New Keyboard and you will see it ready to enable.

  • Ios 6.1.2 on my 3gs that really slowly with chinese typing keyboard. And battery run out so fasttttttttt!!!!!

    I just wanna say ios 6.1.2 on my 3gs that really slowly with chinese typing keyboard. And battery run out so fasttttttttt!!!!!
    do you guys feel the same ?????

    Same here. My 32GB iPhone 3GS works great under iOS 6.1.3. Since I am the original owner of the phone, purchased in July of 2009 and it is long out of contract with AT&amp;T, I had AT&amp;T unlock the phone (not jail break) and my son now uses it on T-Mobile. He has a non-data pay as you go plan so he must be on WIFI to get data, but his school has it as do all his friends houses so it is no real issue. Also very cheap. Amazingly good support by Apple that an almost 4 year old phone still runs the latest and greatest OS. Does not happen with Android. Heck, many new Android phones have an old version, incredible as that may be.

  • Visualizer: keyboard options?

    with the iTunes Visualizer running, I see a set of keyboard options, which are not explained (AFAIK) in the iTunes "help" docs.

    Hi
    A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
    So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
    In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
    So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook
