Language Input Choice

Leopard appears to have removed a capability that exists in Tiger and goes back to classic versions--i.e, the ability to have a different language input for each application. In Tiger, this is accomplished by clicking on "Allow a different input source for each document" in the International preference. This no longer exists in Leopard. It is very inconvenient to have to switch the language with Cmnd-Space every time I need to check a dictionary while I'm translating something into English from another language. In Tiger, all one had to do is set the language input for the dictionary once and it would automatically change when the dictionary was switched to and change back when the document was switched to. Is there some way to do this in Leopard.

InputSwitcher is a great work and I really appreciate the developper.
But the best solution is of course Apple's direct supprt of the feature. InputSwitcher does not work with Carbon Applications, and actually installing a patch using SIMBL is a hack and not really recommended to all users. Let's keep sending a feedback to Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/).
Please understand that I don't mean to hinder popularizing InputSwitcher. It's great that we can just use it right now. But it isn't really good if users are just satisfied with such a utility and stop sending feedback to Apple.

    I need to know what exact model BlackBerry you have, 8520 or 8530?
    You can install an OS that includes the East Asian langugages, and the link below will guide to a forum with BOTH the 8520 and 8530 "Latest OS" files listed, one named "East Asian" and one named "All Languages", choose the correct one accordingly and follow the directions therein.

  • Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

    Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
    It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
    It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
    This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.

    Edit:
    * regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
    * I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

    Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
    If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)

  • How to STOP OS X from automatically changing between language input methods

    I want to know if there is a way in OS X Leopard to stop the system from automatically changing the language input method. I use English and Japanese on my computer, but this would apply to anyone using more than one input method.
    For example, when I click on a Japanese-language file, the system automatically changes input to Kotoeri (the Japanese-language input method). When I then click on an English-language file it usually, but not always, changes back to English input. But I almost never want to TYPE in Japanese. I just need to be able to read Japanese and to cut and paste from Japanese language files. It is very annoying when I start typing in an English-language file and find the input method has been changed to kotoeri without me realizing it—everything comes out in meaningless Japanese. When I want to type in Japanese, I want to manually change to the Japanese input system. That is, I want English to always be the default input method even if I am manipulating Japanese-language files.
    So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the computer so that it never AUTOMATICALLY switches between the input methods. I want to be able to switch only manually. In the old days of System 7, 8, and 9, there was a third-party control panel you could get that would do this (I think it was called Stay There!) and I don't remember this being a problem in Tiger or earlier versions of OS X. Is anyone aware of any way to do this in Leopard?
    Thank you!
    Colin

    Well, I do have it set that way, and I can look up there to see where I am, but in the work I do time is critical and I move back and forth between the two languages frequently. It is really a pain and a waste of time to have to look and make a change that should be unnecessary. The problem is not so much that I don't know where I am. It's that I don't want to ever have to think I MIGHT be in anything but English input unless I specifically want to be. In other words, I need to be able to forget about this problem even being a possibility.

  • How to change the flag image in language input in menu bar?

    I have two languages that I have selected for regular use in my language input menu (on the right-hand side of the menu bar), and I would like to change the Spanish input flag from the Spain national flag to an Argentina flag, just for aesthetics. I figured it'd kind of be like changing the image of how the HDD looks like on the GUI (control-click, get info, copy and paste image), but I'm not sure where to start or if it's even possible. Anyone have any clues or experience with this? I may just have to make do with keeping the Spanish flag up there but just for curiosity's sake I want to know if it can be done.

    There is no problem doing this if you are willing to create and install a custom keyboard layout.  You can find the tool and a manual at

  • I am wanting in input audio to a MacBook Pro  running 10.9.4.  Since there is only the internal microphone as an input choice, how do I accomplish this?

    I am wanting in input audio to a MacBook Pro  running 10.9.4.  Since there is only the internal microphone as an input choice, how do I accomplish this?

    Not something I've ever done, but I found a 9-year-old article from MacWorld -> http://www.macworld.com/article/1041790/tapetocd.html - that explains it a bit. Apparently the only software that you need is GarageBand and a hardware interface. Just Google "copy audio cassette to mac" and you'll get tons of hits.
    Good luck,

  • Language input switching shortcut doesn't work

    Hi! I always use command-space to switch between English and Chinese (Cangjie) input (having disabled this shortcut for Spotlight), but all of a sudden it stops working. I know the command key works and the space bar works, but when I press command-space it does nothing. I have to click on the little language flag to switch language. I also tried restarting the mini.
    There is also something weird about the Chinese inputting now but I'll ask that in another post.
    Thanks!

    I've been having a similar problem, but a little more elaborate.
    It started with my Finder switching on its own from US (my default) keyboard input to Hebrew. I would just switch back using the shortcut (command+space bar), a shortcut I have been using for years without problems. Now the shortcut is giving me problems, and sometimes doesn't work, as steveappleotp describes.
    While in Safari, the shortcut failed to work. I checked my System Preferences for language input and nothing had changed. When I used the mouse to open the language input menu, 3 of the 6 languages were grayed out. But this doesn't happen consistently. All of a sudden everything is okay and I don't know how to recreate the problem.
    Thought I would post this here as it's recent and related, but maybe I should start another thread.
    Thanks.

  • Japanese language input

    Hello,
    I'm really interested in buying a Passport, but it seems I can't find actual evidence on the Internet whether Japanese language input is natively supported by its 10.3 os.
    I don't have access to a physical Passport in department stores, so I can't check for myself, if you can confirm that for me it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    hopefully future BlackBerry user.

    the iTouch (like any iPod) can change its menu settings to Japanese. I visited an Apple store recently and found that the iPhone doesn't have the option. But trying to INPUT Japanese is an entirely different issue. So far, I've been unable to confirm that either device can handle the inputting of actual Japanese text, in a phonetic manner, then having it translate to characters. This is how the Mac works normally, but the phones and iPods don't seem like they're there yet. Anyone know when that will change?

  • Language input delay on Mac os X Lion

    I am using Chinese input, but it delays when I am using Safari, no such a problem when using in other apps, just safari, and also, if I switch back to English input, there is no problem at all, seems like, there is a problem with chinese input and safari, they are not working very well together, anyone notice on an other language input , please let me know.
    anyone have any idea to solve this issue ,  would be really appratiated.
    thanks.

    it works perfectly with firefox, just tried, and it's Chinese pinyin simplifed, I didn't try others, but firefox seems OK, so i might abandon safari, shame on apple. on this case. thank u Tom, for your tip, that's a big help.

  • Spotlight / Language Input Menu Keyboard Shortcuts

    In the Mouse & Keyboard Preference Pane, I disable the keyboard shortcuts for the Language Input Menu.
    In addition, I try to change the keyboard shortcut for Spotlight from CMD-Space to Option-Space.
    The only problem is that these prefrences reset themselves upon logout.
    Is there any way to fix this, or can someone point me to the .plist file for keyboard shortcuts?
    Thanks in advance.

    can someone explain in more detail on how to change the keyboard shortcut? on my old imac, i was able to switch languages by using cmd-spacebar.. but on my macbook, it seems to direct to another command.
    how do i change that so i have a hotkey on my keyboard to change languages?? (i'm very tech. challenged, so baby steps would be goog >_<!!) thanks for the help!

  • How to install Japanese Language Input??

    I got a BB Tour with Verizon but they do not have a Japanese input, they only provide a reader. 
    I need to type and read.
    How would I go about in installing just an Japanese input, is there a standalone download?

    Now they have Japanese Language input software.

  • No chinese language input in keyboard

    i was playing with my brother's ipad trying to get the hang of it before i buy myself one. i noticed on the keyboard that there is no chinese language input like that in the iphone.
    is there really one or do i have to download a software or whatever.
    by the way, my bro bought in the states, and we are located in asia.
    wondering if it will be included in the asian release.

    i noticed on the keyboard that there is no chinese language input like that in the iphone.
    Do you really not see the option for Simplified Chinese? If not, something is wrong with your system.
    The iPad does not yet have input for Traditional Chinese. It is one of the 2 dozen keyboards which are in the iPhone but not yet ported to the iPad. Presumably Apple will add it in the future via a software update, but nobody can tell you when. There is no way to add it yourself.
    If you are talking about Traditional Chinese, tell Apple you want it here:

  • Switch language input in dictation

    hi, i really love the new languages in dictation & speech. I speak two languages and i need different language input for my study and work. Therefore, i need to switch between them regularly. I was wondering if there are any shortcuts or settings which could enable me to quickly switch dictation languages without going into system preference every single time.

    See example #95 on my blog for some ideas.
