Set up your font into Chinese (Traditional or Simple) first. \nThey are already there in Microsoft XP. \n\nWe input Chinese characters with many different ways. \nSuch as pictograph (one of the historical structure classifications of the written character), Romen phonetic transcription, or Chinese own phonetic ㄅ.ㄆ.ㄇ.ㄈ....ㄦ. \n\nEach of them have their own sound, combine 2~3 of them and collocate them with 5 tongues " －　ˊ　v　ˋ　。"　to　make a character. Chinese phonetic imput is the most popular and easiest one now.

if you have xp it should be automatic. try view->encoding->more->korean.\n\nif you have 98, you have to download language support from microsoft.com for each language.

Absolutely!  I had the same need, and I found the following website very helpful:\nhttp://www.mandarintools.com/cgi-bin/wordlook.pl\n\nNow I can talk to my chinese business contacts and friends all day long!

I'm in china too, and I've found that most Chinese textbooks for learning chinese are not very useful or applicable to real life.\n\nI started with the pronunciation of the pinyin with the free class my school gave.  Then I moved to writing/reading (which should be combined but they don't understand that) I used "Reading and Writing Chinese" by Tuttle Publishing, Hong Kong.  can buy in major cities' foreign language bookstore for around 120RMB.  It mostly teaches the old characters but is very useful because it has english explanations and step-by-step (or stroke-by-stroke) writing diagrams.  And if you know the old you can learn the new ones easily, but not the other way around.\n\nOnce you have basic numbers, travel words and everyday needs, you should sit down with a phrasebook or a restaurant menu and study the foods.  It is a must-do!  Eat something different every day and study the characters and pronunciation of the food words.\n\nBeyond that, I would recommend you take a chinese friend to the bookstore and look through a few books until you find one that best suits you.  DONT buy the one your friend recommends, keep looking... you will find one, but it has to be challenging and interesting, not the "Kunming is the spring city" type of book, thats BS that you will never need in your daily life as a foreigner.

Tell me what OS you are using and I might be able to help you. \n\nIf you are using Windows XP, you will need to follow the process detailed on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx. The menus will be in Chinese of course, but if you pay close attention to the icons and the hotkeys on the buttons, you should be able to click the right ones. Or ask a person who reads Chinese to help you navigate.

In general, you just need the appropriate fonts, which may already be installed. \n\nIn Firefox, look under View / Character Encoding. \nIn Internet Explorer, look under View / Encoding. \n\nMake sure one of the Chinese encoding is selected, or AUTO is selected. The browser may ask you to go download some fonts or such, let it, then restart the browser when complete, and you should be able to read those websites. \n\nI just checked Baidu.com and I have no problem looking at it with Firefox 1.5.0.8 or IE 6.

You have to use the Windows disk to install Chinese as a language as well. You have to call out the language bar from some place (I forgot where) and use hanyu or pinyin to do it.

You can open up "Character Map" under "Accessories", "System Tools" in Windows, find what you want copy & paste it like so ♥♥

I have XP, but the process on your computer shouldn't be too much different. You will need to have your Windows installation cd.\n\nGo to the control panel.\n\nOnce there, click on Regional and Language Options.\n\nIn the dialog that opens, click the Languages tab.\n\nOn this tab, you will need to check the box that reads "Install files for East Asian languages".\n\nClick Apply.\n\nYou will be asked to insert your Windows cd so that the fonts can be copied from it.\n\nFollow any other prompts.\n\nClick OK to close Regional and Language Options.\n\nClose the control panel.\n\nHope this helps.

I find these dictionaries useful, sometimes:\nhttp://tw.dictionary.yahoo.com/\nhttp://www.pristine.com.tw/lexicon.php\nhttp://www.mandarintools.com/worddict.html\nhttp://zhongwen.com/m/hello.htm\n\nFor learning Chinese, check out the links & downloadable software on this site:\nhttp://eastasia.hawaii.edu/yao/icusers/\nMost of these are not dictionaries, but my students have gotten a lot out of them, especially when used in conjuntion with the Integrated Chinese textbook:\nhttp://eastasia.hawaii.edu/yao/icusers/ICTxtbk.html\n-or-\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0887272630/002-8966706-8563246?v=glance&n=283155\n\nBut none of these are trilinguial English-Chinese-Vietnamese -- sorry.

you will have english keyboard but at the same time there are chinese on each key as well.  But the layout is exactly the same as US keyboard.  You will not have a problem using it.\nTo switch on different input method, you only need to select the one you want in the language setting.
