I think they use a english keyboard and type in english, because my gf lives in china and i use to think she had a program that translated chinese to english but she said no she uses english keys.\n\nIn china, they block some of the internet.\nSo the chinese people cant use all the search engines they would like.\n\nI dont know about Japanese.\n\nHope that helps :0\nsteffy

Yes, it depends on what you think is "useful".  Many people believe that English is a very useful language because it is a language spoken in some countries with economic power, so you can use English to do international communications and business.  However, if you are a farmer in a small town in China, your native language is probably the most useful to you because it's a language that you can use to communicate with people in your same community.  So it depends on what you want to do with it.\n\nI think the more languages a person knows, the better!

I visited both countries in 1976 and found the Chinese to be very friendly & curious about Americans. The Japanese were extremely polite & reserved. They had more personal freedom & control of their destiny than the Chinese at that time. Both countries are extremely crowded, so their privacy is internal (their thoughts are private), but they accept other people to be very close physically to them. I found Asian people to be very loveable & likeable. I cannot choose one over the other, as they are both terrific.

The Mainland Chinese government has a division that determines how words will be translated and disseminates it to the schools.  They are very picky about trying to avoid just transliterating the new words the way the Japanese and South Koreans do.  BTW, North Korea has a similar branch of the gov't which is one of the reasons South Koreans and their Northern neighbors sometimes have trouble communicating.

try http://babelfish.altavista.com/ I think it's better than google translation based on the result.\nactually I tried to translate some pages through http://search.empas.com, and the result was pretty good.(I'm a korean speaker)\nthe major(most popular) search engine is www.naver.com currently though

I guess the best place to find them is to search google with mandarin characters, the search engines will look all over the net for them..☺

YAHOO! search cannot always interpret correctly when doing international searches.  As long as you understand what its talking about you should be fine.

What an odd question. Please remember that we share the English langauge with many other countries (U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africam, Canada, etc.) and therefore share the same alphabet.\n\nAdditionaly, many other languages have both more letters (or characters when talking about the various Chinese Dialects as well as Japanese) and more phonemes (different sounds). \n\nSo to answer your question, no.

My son  plays on line games with people all over the world. He has asked that question of some Japanese people and they said yes that their keyboards have the characters of their language. Evidently, there is some type of an interpreter component that changes it to English when playing international games with English speaking people.

Internet explorer has a default list of installed languages. You are probably seeing these pages because korean is above english on your priority list. In internet explorer, go to "Tools -> Internet Options'. There will be a tab called 'Languages' near the bottom. Click this and remove all languages but English, or move English to the top of your priority list.

Let me revise your question. Is it better to learn Chinese or Japanese? If this is what you are asking, it really depends on how you'll use the language.\nIn terms of population, there are much much more people in the whole world speaking Chinese than Japanese.\nMany job opportunities have out-sourced to China. Many people are learning the language for this reason.

It depends whether his computer has the Chinese character entry for him to communicate in Chinese.  There are simplified and traditional Chinese fonts that you need to choose.  However, after all, AIM is not popular in China.  Try MSN or Yahoo! Messengers.

china is not better than any other country.  however, google still wants to be used by the millions of people in china living under a communist form of goverment.  so in order for google to benifet, they must make some changes.
