How do i type in japanese?

how do i configure my keyboard settings into enable japanese characters input? THANKS!!

Yes, you can input hiragana directly just by selecting it from the upper right on the Finder bar where the US flag is. After you type a word, it will be underlined, if you then press the spacebar once, it will change to the most common kanji. If you press the spacebar again, you'll get a list of kanji to choose from. If you just want to leave the hiragana, then after typing the word, press Return---the word will lose the underline, meaning it is entered.
The reason the kana palette is useful is because on an English keyboard (which I assume you have, otherwise you wouldn't be asking how to enable Japanese I guess), you have to type the romaji equivalent of the hiragana. Doing that sometimes leads to mistakes or "mispellings" as it were, if you don't catch it. It isn't really a problem, but it's nice to have---if you don't need it, don't enable it.

  • How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

    How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

    To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type.  The font will take care of itself.

    Assuming that you can already type and display Japanese characters on your platform. In terms of db storage, you need to create a database using a character set that can stored Japanese characters such as JA16SJIS, JA16EUC, UTF8, AL32UTF8 etc. Next you need to set your NLS_LANG to the character set on your client platform, so that Oracle can convert between the client and database character sets.

    You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
    But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
    Good luck,

  • How can I get a Japanese flash web page to display 100% correctly?

    I've tried everything I can think of but I can't get some of this web site's font to display correctly. Some of the flash shows in the correct, Japanese, characters, but some of it shows as code. If I log in as a different user, and set that user's International Language preferences to Japanese, the web page displays correctly. But, when I change users, and go back to the English user, the page displays in a mix of Japanese and messed-up code.
    Here is the page: http://weathernews.jp/livecam/
    If I click onto a different page of that website, http://weathernews.jp/map/
    the writing appears as Japanese in the box, at the bottom of the map.
    But, if you click on that map, and zoom in 3-times, to the city level, the font in the box under the hourly weather and weekly weather appears as code, and not Japanese.
    I'm guessing that it is a problem with the computer booting-up as being English or Japanese, and the browser, then not being able to detect which version of flash to run, the Japanese or English version, cannot display the font correctly.
    Why does it happen only on some pages and not all of the pages on that site?
    Can it be fixed?
    If so, how?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I tried Opera and Firefox, but I get the same garbled text. The only thing that makes that page open and display correctly is switching to a different user, and making that user's main language Japanese, in the international settings.
    Of course none of this is all that important, I mean, it's about viewing a weather page, but I am just curious why some of the Flash is read or written so that an English language set user can see some of it displayed correctly, but not all of it, where as a user set to Japanese language settings can get all pages correctly.
    I know it has to do with how the Flash Macromedia sees the main language setting for the computer, but what I don't get, is how come a user using Japanese as the main language can read English and Japanese Flash pages (pages with English commanded Java come up correctly), but using English as the main language only allows me to view Flash pages written using English commands. Can I change my Flash program to read Japanese pages, without changing my computers main language to Japanese? Or am I stuck with a Flash program that must match the main language the user is using?

  • How do I type Hebrew and English on the same page

    How do I type Hebrew and English on the same page in Indesign?

    What version of InDesign are you using? And on what operating system? Switching keyboard ("input methods") is in your OS, not in InDesign. InDesign has had the capability to display right-to-left languages since CS4, but only the Middle East edition has the abilities to actually manipulate Hebrew text. If you're trying to do a bilingual, bidirectional document, you'll need the ME edition. If you are a CC subscriber, it comes with your subscription; if you are not, you'll need to buy another version of ID, or a plugin that will allow you to access those RTL features.

  • How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

    I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

    Start with  the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
    The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

  • How can I type on a PDF file? Do I need a specific version of Adobe to enter a text box?

    I would rather type my information onto the page rather than hand write it and I don't have access to a type writer. How can I type my info onto the application?? Please help!

    With Adobe Reader XI, you can add text comments and notes, as well as adding new text boxes using the Comment pane shown below:
    However, if you actually need to edit text, you'll need to purchase Acrobat XI from Adobe.

    That means you have the "British" keyboard layout active.  If you had a British hardware keyboard, it would be printed on your 3 key, but I guess you must have a US hardware keyboard.

  • In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

  • After creating a table, how do I type outside of it?   I can't get a cursor to come up.

    After creating a table, how do I type outside of it?   I can't get a cursor to come up.

    Barker,
    If by "outside" you mean "on the right or left of" a table, you must make the Table a Floating Object to do that.
    If you must use Inline Tables, you can do this:
    Add a Floating Text Box with the text that needs to be "outside" the table. Arrange, then Group the Text Box with the Floating Table, and then set the Group to Inline.
