Type in Chinese or another language in Windows

This article will walk you through the process of enabling typing in a different script in Windows. This post does not apply to a version of Windows before Vista, and there is no guarantee that it will work. I am teaching this to you using Windows Vista, and it is slightly different in Windows 7, I think. But you can still follow along.

• Go to the Control Panel. 
• Here, in the Category View, click Regional and Language Settings.
• A dialog with lots of settings opens up. 
• In here, go to the Keyboards and Languages tab. 
• Now click the button Change Keyboards.

• A list of keyboards will show up. Most probably, only English is enabled right now.
• Click the button Add on the right.
• A list of languages and sub-languages will show up. Navigate to the language you want and choose one of the keyboards. For example, for Chinese,

• Check the box next to the keyboard language, and click add. 
• Close the window, and you will see your language appear in the list of languages.

•  I enabled the Chinese keyboard, and after I click OK and close everything, I got this in my Taskbar:

•  Now, when I click Chinese, I get a toolbar on the Taskbar, where I can change settings for the input of the foreign language.
• However, this may be different for different languages.

You have enabled the foreign language you want, and you can now type anywhere using that language, after you enable it. I can even type Chinese into search engines. Thanks for reading.
