Simplified Chinese input

I selected simplified Chinese as a possible input in system preferences, but when I select it to type something, I just get something like this >> ｓａｄｆｋｌ. I don't get a list of possible characters. I tried it with traditional Chinese but that works fine. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Yes, I'm using pin yin.

Simplified Chinese input problem

I recently update mac air, but the simplified Chinese input is disabled. Can someone help please?
Thank you!

Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and try deleting your Chinese input sources. Then restart and try adding them back in.
A further approach is to reinstall you OS.
OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

Could not find Simplified Chinese input method when using FormsCentral

Hi
When I creating files using FormsCentral, I could not find the input method of Simplified Chinese, therefore, the document I created look strange. The font is not what I wanted but I really could not find Simplified Chinese to edit the document. Could anyone please show me how should I do it or where I can download the font pack?

We currently do not support Chinese forms.

Problems trying to use simplified Chinese input

I went to System Preferences > International > Input > Checked the box labeled "simplified chinese" and all the secondary boxes and yet when I try to switch to Chinese using the input menu the options for Chinese are faded and unclickable. Is there anything I should install?

Does this happen in TextEdit? If not, what apps?

Fix a Bug in OS X.5.2 for input simplified chinese using AZERTY keyboard ?

Bonjour,
I use Leopard on my new MacBook, which has a french AZERTY keyboard. My main language is french, but sometimes i have to write some simplified chinese caracters.
When i choose the simplified chinese input method ITABC, my keyboard acts like a QWERTY keyboard ! So it is difficult to input text because i have to guess where are the letters.
This bug existed in the first versions of Mac OS X, and then was fixed in the next versions (Panther and Tiger worked fine). Using Tiger on my old PowerBook 12", when i chose the chinese ITABC input method, the keyboard continued to act "normally", i mean like an AZERTY keyboard.
And the bug appeared again with Leopard...
Can you tell me how to fix this problem ?
Or, more likely, can a nice Apple developper fix this problem on the next OS update ? (OS X.5.3)
That would be very nice, thanks
Dudusiong

Thanks for the answer. But i'd prefer not to spend my money to buy a solution to overpass this bug, i just want to fix it or get it fixed by Apple.
Does anyone have an idea about how i could tell my computer not to switch from AZERTY to QWERTY when i select the Simplified Chinese Input Method ?
I'm sure it can be done by modifying a file in the system. I think things are set up in the file named SCIM (as Simplified Chinese Imput Method), located in the directory : .../System/Library/Imput Methods/
But i don't know what to do to fix the problem, and how to do it...

No Traditional Chinese Input!!!!

It's an outrage only Simplified Chinese input method is supported. The majority of the US Chinese population, not to mention a very large world population use Traditional Chinese.
Traditional Chinese input methods are already on iPhones and iPod Touch, why doesn't Apple port it to iPad?
Make your opinion known and post followup so Apple will pay attention!

Being able to "read and write both" does not mean the ability to understand it. I'm sure you can "read and write" English, but I'm sure that not everyone in the US knows what "going to the loo" means; hence the cultural difference between the 2 speakers.
I can read and write both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and I've played with the Simplified Chinese on my iPad, being a Traditional Chinese writer, "bee-hive digital" does not mean "Cellular Data" to me in any way shape or form.
Logically, the interface to input would be the same for the iphone and the ipad, where as the iphone does suppose Traditional Chinese. I just don't understand it was left out.

Bug in Chinese input (Pinyin Simplified)

Hello, I think I've found a bug in the OS' language input for Chinese input. It just doesn't seem to like writing the combination of letters 'zhe'. This is really annoying, as these letters spell the Mandarin for 'This', amongst other things, so I want to use it quite a lot. Every time I try to write 'zhe' using 'Pinyin- Simplified' it works fine for the first two letters, then when I type 'e' it beachballs and then just writes the English letter 'e' instead of giving me a choice of characters spelt 'zhe'. The 'zh' just disappears. Any more writing is just rendered in the English alphabet, despite the symbol for Pinyin- Simplified being displayed on the menu bar, unless I switch out and in of input languages. Resetting in this way doesn't cure the problem. This only seems to happen for 'zhe' as far as I can discover - 'zhou', 'zhi' 'zhang' etc. render in Chinese just fine.
Perhaps someone could test this on their machine, and let me know whether it's a problem with my computer or the OS, and give me suggestions on how to fix it, if possible? I'd be grateful for any help.

I can't duplicate your problem with 这 or 你。But I am only on 10.6.3.

Input Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint

Please help!
What's the easiest way to put Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint???
I have a mandarin project due like in a week, and I've been trying to find out how to do this on a mac. I've tried the international thing on preferences, but it doesn't work very well, and doesn't even work on powerpoint. Any help would be awesome!!!!
Cheers!

the characters turn out as wierd symbols
You should really have no problem with Office 2004. You might make sure you have the MS Chinese Fonts selected for your text field (SimSun.ttf and PMingLiU.ttf. They appear in the Font menu as 宋体 and 新細明體.)
Send me a screenshot if you like (tom at bluesky dot org).
If problems continue, you can ask in the Chinese-Mac group:

Chinese input in Gnome via scim

I really love this distrobution. Its fast lean and mean. However, I am having trouble with Chinese fonts and especially Chinese input via scim. I have installed the required packages, but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have clear, step-by-step instructions to install and configure scim with both Traditional and Simplified characters? I believe that any clear instructions for setting up Chinese input via scim would also benefit other non-native English speakers, as, scim provides an input system for a variety of languages including Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc... Just an idea for the Arch maintainers... Relatively hassle-free internationalization IS a good idea.

Simplified Chinese

How do I download simplified Chinese onto my Blackberry Pearl 8100? If you could display the links that would be appreciated.

I need to read and type chinese characters; I installed the East Asian Service: 8100EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel174_PL2.7.0.92_A4.5.0.124_CSL on my computer but there is no chinese language support, only afrikaans, turkish and others. I wonder how to install the chinese characters input in my Blackberry 8100.

BUG: Chinese Input doesn't work properly in Illustrator CC (Mac)

As what the title says, inputting Chinese characters in Illustrator CC on Mac is not possible.
Is there any way to fix this besides waiting for Adobe to release a patch?

Hello,
Can you please explain what kind of issues you are experiencing?
Which input system are you using?
Is it a problem with mixed text or is the text all in English?
I have tried inputting Chinese using the Mac Simplified Pinyin input system in Illustrator and it seems to work.
Thanks,
Joel

HT5176 What languages are the chinese input methods associated with?

In the help file for iOS Dictation the following paragraph regards to selecting language for dictation
When you want to change the language used for Dictation:
Tap the globe icon to change to the keyboard for that language.
Tap the microphone icon to start Dictation.
Note: To use Dictation, the keyboard language needs to be a supported language. Dictation is designed to recognize the specific accents and dialects of the supported countries listed above. Since every language has its own accents and dialects, the accuracy rate will be higher for native speakers.
Now there are couple chinese input methods for simplified or traditional chinese typing. However, which one relates to "cantonese"? They both use the same characters but with different pronunciation.

Following up, here is the situation:
Using "Chinese Traditional - Changjie" as input method,
1, dictation WILL listen as Cantonese if SIRI is set to Cantonese-Hong Kong
2, dictation defaults to Mandarin if SIRI is set to English
Further testing concluded that regardless of the input method, as long as Siri is set to Cantonese-Hong Kong the dictation can listen to cantonese, and otherwise it cannot.
Is there a way to individually toggle dictation language?

Why my chinese input app fails?

When I switch from English Input to Chinese Input, I can't input anything to several apps including Mails, QQ, Evernote.
But I can input Chinese in Chrome and other apps.
Not only character keys are disabled, number keys and delete key are also disabled.

Thanks for your attention.
It works well in TextEdit.
I've tried Simplified Pinyin (the original Chinese IM included in OS) and Sogou Pinyin IM, but neither work.
Til now, only Mails, QQ and Evernote are affected. However, if I set English IM before I open QQ app and switch to Chinese IM after QQ's setup, Chinese IM becomes OK. But this doesn't appear in Mails and Evernote.
I tried to create a new account but the same problem appears.

Simplified Chinese index is gibberish

I use RH7 from the Tech suite and look forward to the Unicode
support that is implicit in this release. I have a project that
creates perfectly vaild topic pages internally, but the index is
gibberish.
I have set the project language to Simplified Chinese, I have
set the default language to Simplified Chinese in the tools menu
(just in case), and I have recreated the hhk file just to be sure.
When I run the index wizard, I see the chinese chars in the
display, but when I compile the project, I see :"Warning: Data loss
is converting data using choosen(sic) language."
Why is this happenning? I have looked at the hhk file in
Notepad and it is Unicode (UTF8). Why is it being converted?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Have you applied 7.01 RoboHelp update?
It seems that you are generating CHM output on a system where
Simplified Chinese is not a primary language. Try generating
WebHelp and see if Index comes alright.
For CHM compliation RoboHelp converts Unicode data to Multi
Byte encoding before passing it to CHM compiler. What this means is
that on an english system, where Windows 1252 is the default
encoding format which does not support simplified chinese
characters, CHM generation will have junk characters for chinese
characters.
If you provide more information then may be I can provide you
better inputs.

New interface of Chinese Input Method

I don't know if there were any other Chinese / Taiwanese people here on the Apple Communities but I really hated the new input method.
the iOS4 interface of Chinese input method is way better.
i wonder if there were any way i can change it back to the former one???
if there were no way to fix it by oneself ; I hope Apple can changed it back.
btw, does anyone know how to send an advice or suggestion to Apple on certain issue like this??
thanks for anyone who answer my question.

For some strange reason, Apple has decided to replace the old Chinese Handwriting "keyboard" with the new Chinese Stroke "keyboard" when you upgrade to iOS 5. The old input method is actually still there - just go into Settings / General / International Keyboards / Add New Keyboard and select Chinese Traditional (or Simplified) Handwriting. I am using an iPad 2 but hopefully it is the same for an iPhone.
