READ WHOLE THING CAREFULLY ! IF IT DOESN'T WORK, YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG ! Enabling the DISPLAY of Korean text:
**First please go to start > control panel > regional and language options.**Make sure you have a copy of XP on hand**
To enable the display of korean text, all you need to do is ensure your settings reflect the following:
On the languages tab you will see a lower frame of options called Supplemental language support. Of these options, make sure you have ticked ‘Install files for East Asian Languages’. Insert the cd if prompted to. Restart if prompted to.
Moving on to the Advanced tab, set the Language for non-Unicode programs to Korean. Insert the cd if prompted to. Restart if prompted to.
I never changed anything else in this tab. Click apply.
You should now be able to see korean text correctly in most if not all applications
Enabling the INPUT of Korean text:
**Ensure you are in the Languages tab of your regional and langauge options.**Make sure you have a copy of XP on hand**
To enable the input of korean text, all you need to do is ensure your settings reflect the following:
On the languages tab you will see an upper frame titled Text services and input languages. Click the Details button.
Here is where you manage what Input Systems will be used on your machine.
First, make sure the default input language (the first dropdown box) is set to the langauge you use natively. (For me, this is English (Australia) - US. Meaning Australian input system, with the US keyboard layout)
Moving down to the Installed services, make sure the only service installed is your default language. This means deleting any services other than your default language. (This is so you don’t have two similar inputs as there is no use for this. You don’t want to be cycling through two or three normal languages before you get to korean)
Once you have made sure that the only installed service is your default language, click the Add… button.
Select Korean for both the Input language and Keyboard layout/IME and click ok.
Now go to the advanced tab and tick the option which says Extent support of advanced text services to all programs.
Click apply
USING Korean text:
Many people follow these exact previous steps but still complain that they cannot type Korean. Well please take great note of the following information.
The input system that you will use when you type is dependent on the current system you’re keyed into. You cycle through these systems using the LEFT ALT+SHIFT key combination. Due to the fact that you should only have two inputs means that this will be more like a TOGGLE than a CYCLE. Which is exactly why I suggested deleting any unnecessary services.
Here’s the tricky part though. Even when you’re in the korean input system you STILL have the ability to type in english without being in the english input system. This is toggled using the right alt key.
(In other words, for those who's English isn't that good.. When you change to Korean, but you still type in English, press RIGHT ALT + SHIFT to type in Korean! )
YET ANOTHER tricky part is that the current input system is only relative to the program you initiated it in.
For example: If you were typing korean in notepad and then switched to MSN, you would then be back in the english input system.
If you tabbed back to notepad you would be back to the english input system.
Alot of this stuff may be hard to follow at first. But don’t give up. It really is painfully simple once you fully understand what’s going on with the hotkeys. So persist!
Anyway that’s it. Have fun.
