Language input problems

Hi,
My problems have had me gone frustrated before I update to Yosemite.
First, when I'm using Chinese input, the first alphabet key isn't registered if I only tap click the input field. However, if I physically click the input field, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Secondly, while typing Chinese on Safari, half way changing the language from Chinese to English causing the keyboard not working to any further typing nor deleting typed word, but only highlight the typed word and re-type again can solve the problem in typing.
Also, the Chinese bar display disorientatedly on screen.
After updated to Yosemite, my macbook is getting more sluggish than before.
Technical support in Malaysia is not satisfied. Problems still persist although I sent for software repair and update. Truly helpless
Anyone could help?

Problem like this has happened before updating to yosemite.
Is it because of bugs?

Foreign language input problem

Hi,
I was using the "ITABC" that goes with Mac OSX to input Chinese.
It worked pretty well until a few days ago. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Thank you very much!

. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Could you explain what happens when you try to do that in more detail? Does it affect all apps?
Try creating a new user and see if you have the same problem when logged into that.

BB 9900 japanese language input problems

My platform is MAC OS and I live in Luxembourg. My carrier is Luxgsm.
I am trying to download the East Asian Language pack so that I may be able to write in Japanese.
I already downloaded the desktop for mac. I cannot find the language pack which can be downloaded in a Mac and consequently I cannot use Japanese on the the BB.
Are there any solutions for this ?
I went through the forums even on those of crackberry but I did not find a convicing answer
BB is getting way too complicated. No wonder it 's losing pace
thank you

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.
J
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

Acroread 8.x CJK input problem

See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=353251
CJK input doesnt work right in the English version of
acroead 8.1.1 or the pre-release version 8.1.2.
First of all, one needs to set
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
to make acroread react at all to the hotkey which triggers
SCIM input (default hotkeys on openSUSE are Shift+Space and Control+Space).
When GTK_IM_MODULE=scim or GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge, acroread
wont react to the hotkey which enables SCIM at all.
With GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, the scim input method *can* be
enabled by Shift+Space. But it doesnt work right.
One can see correct Japanese in the popups shown by scim when
converting phonetics to Chinese characters. But the predit string
shows garbage which seems to resemble Arabic. And after comitting
everything typed is converted to question marks (acroread 8.1.1)
or boxes (acroread 8.1.2).
I am talking about the *English* versions of acroread here, not
localized Japanese versions like e.g.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.1/jpn
As it is not nice to have completely packages for each language, I
hope that the different language versions can be merged into one in
the long run.
It would be very nice if there were only one basic version and to
support other languages one only had to add fonts and translations and
not exchange the binaries.

Mike,
Could you confirm if everything is working fine with the Japanese Reader
downloaded from the Reader website? That'll be really strange since the Viewer
binaries should be identical in the English and Japanese versions. The only
difference in the 2 installers should be in the fonts and the resource
libraries.

OK, I tried with the special Japanese version of acroread (8.1.1)
as well.
There is no difference in behaviour between the Japanese acroread
8.1.1 and the English acroread 8.1.1 and the English acroread 8.1.1 as
far as the input problem reported here is concerned! All of them show
the problem as reported here.
But I found that it depends on the locale. If acroead is started
in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 acroread
the problem occurs as reported here.
However, if acroread is started in ja_JP.eucJP locale
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP acroread
the Japanese input works fine! Thats the same with the Japanese and
the English version of acroread.
As UTF-8 locales are the default nowadays on most Linux distributions,
it is important that this works not only in legacy locales like
ja_JP.eucJP but also in ja_JP.UTF-8.

The screen-shot seems to indicate you are trying to enter japanese characters
in a standard GTK+ edit field. The core Reader code actually doesn't interact
much with the control during the process of entry of text.
Could you try the following -
1. When the default locale is eucJP, what happens in a standard edit field in
some other GTK+ app., for instance gtk-demo? If you don't have gtk-demo, you
could even try the same thing in the Open dialog in the Adobe Reader, where you
type the file name.
2. If you don't export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, can you make the IME appear in some
other GTK+ app. like the gtk-demo?
My guess is this (atleast point 1 above) may be a problem with GTK+, though we
are investigating this at our end as well. Maybe an issue with the fonts that
get loaded when the locale is UTF-8, vs eucJP. That's the reason, the
characters loaded from the IME are showing as question marks.

In gtk-demo, Japanese input works both for ja_JP.eucJP locale
*and* for ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
And it works for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE which I tried
(GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, GTK_IM_MODULE=scim, and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge.
Gaurav Jain> If you don't have gtk-demo, you could even try

Japanese input in the Open dialog of the Adobe Reader behaves
exactly like in the search field of the Adobe Reader:
- works fine in ja_JP.eucJP locale
(for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE)
- does not work in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale
(not for any of the above mentioned values of GTK_IM_MODULE)
Gaurav Jain> 2. If you don't export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, can you make
Gaurav Jain> the IME appear in some other GTK+ app. like the gtk-demo?
In gtk-demo the IME appears and works fine.
In acroread, the IME appears for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE (xim,
scim, scim-bridge) and input works fine in ja_JP.eucJP locale. In
ja_JP.UTF-8 locale, the IME appears as well and input seems to be
possible but the result is garbage as in my screen shot.

Hello Mike,
I tried reproducing the bug on SLED 10, openSUSE 10.3, and openSUSE
11.0(http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Alpha1/iso/cd/openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1-GNO ME-i386.iso)
but was unable to do so.I could see no difference in the behavior based on
locale.Also,the problem of garbage predit strings in case of utf8 is not
reproducible at my end.
Could you please attach a screenshot of your SCIM setup settings,and the
download location of openSUSE 11.0.
Regards,
Sanika

I found that the problem occurs *only* with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim,
contrary to what I wrote in comment #8.
That was my fault, because I still had
# Workaround for http://rudin.suse.de:8888/show_bug.cgi?id=85416
# (see comment #37):
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
patched into the beginn of the acroread start-script.
Apparently this is not needed anymore, input using
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge seems to
work fine now in acroread 8.1.2.
*But* the problem I described here occurs with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim.
Sanika,
can you reproduce the problem with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim ?

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.

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!

Z10 - Japanese Language Input & Display

Can anyone tell me if the Z10 supports Japanese language input, and the display of Japanese characters?
I have several Japanese colleagues who are currently using the BB 9780. These can support Japanese through a quick change of the phone OS.
Will the Z10 support Japanese from the start, or will the OS change method need to be applied?
The phones themselves will be used on the Vodafone UK network.

displaying shouldnt be a problem.
for inputting, closest thing i could find was this.
http://bbfansite.com/wp/?p=26150
it is introducing the app called "gjapanese" which let you convert to japanese by accessing IME through network.
the blog article is written in japanese so let colleagues read it if they are interested.
the os changing method worked before QNX based os came out.
to be honest, since the playbook( also QNX based os running) never supported japanese input, i strongly doubt bb 10s will either.

MAC Users: how to get Chinese language input for my Bold 9700

Hey everyone, I have a Bold 9700 from AT&T and I need to get Chinese input to work. But all of your solutions are for PC users, and I have a Mac. I am using the latest desk top manager. I can get read Chinese but can't input. there is no option for Chinese input in the application loader. HELP! Thanks

Same here,
I have a bold 9700 with t mobile USA and a macbook pro
how can i install chinese language input? HELP !!!
(apparently it has to do with the desktop manager, no? but the mac version is very basic)
thanks for the help !

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?

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.
