I currently have with me, an English vesion of XP
Professional.

I require a particular type of simplified chinese input
known as zhi(1) neng(2)ABC.

This type of input is only avaliable on the chinese
versions of XP purchased from China and not even the
traditional and simplified MUIs have them.

Is there anyway to have the zhi neng ABC text input
installed on an english version of XP Professional?

Can you not just get a friend in China to buy you a copy
of the mainland version of XP Professional and send it to
you ? Then just partition your disk and install it in the
new partition. Or buy an external hard disk - we just
bought one from Maxtor and install it on that ?

Maybe Microsoft in Seattle could also supply you with the
copy of the required XP version ?

If the HQ can't get it, nobody can !

Hi,

If this particular input is available only on chinese versions then it might
be likely that the english versions will not support them. Hence it would be
pointless to try to get that input to install on english version.

I agree with Rajesh on that one.
My wife is from Taiwan and currently uses the Fuyin
Zhuhao input method to write Traditional Chinese in the
US English version of Win 2K Pro.
I know how to use it to input simplified Chinese using
the regular PinYin system.

We actually experimented with trying to add other input
systems ourselves and we couldn't do it. I don't know if
XP is different and allows you to add new ones, but I
doubt it.

Since you are here in this Forum, I presume you have
already tried Microsoft Knowledge Base and they failed,
dumping you here ? :-)

I can only suggest academic resources for further
research. They can be impressive You might also do a
search in Google for Chinese language resources.

Yale University have a well-known Chinese Computer
Center, whioh handles both Chinese on the Mac and the PC
They may not have the answer for you, but they have lots
of links/contacts who might,

http://www.ups.edu/faculty/perry/computer/home.htm is
just one of their URLs that popped out in a brief search
a moment ago.

Penn State also has some resources:
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions [...] /bylanguag
e/chinese.html

There must be others.

If you are based in the UK, get in touch with the School
of Oriental and African Studies, London University.

Their Chinese Dept has the best resources in Europe, and
excellent links with China.

Good Luck

Hi..

That new input just now was also from me.
This forum doesn't add your name automatically like
others I am used to !
