In the Windows STCs, how do I change my keyboard settings to Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?

In the Student Technology Centers (STCs), you can use Windows XP language settings for Japanese, Korean, and both PRC and Taiwanese Chinese. To do so:

1. From the Start menu, choose Settings, and then open the Control Panel.
   
   
2. From the Control Panel, choose Date, Time, Language & Regional options, and then Regional and Language Options.
   
   
3. In the box that appears, choose the Languages tab, and under "Text services and input languages", click Details... .
   
   
4. In the "Installed services" section, use the slider to see the icon for the language settings you want to use; click this icon once to select it.
   
   
5. Click Add... . From the drop-down menu, select the appropriate language and the Check the Keyboard Layout/IME checkbox. This installs the Microsoft version of the Input Method Editor (IME); the box will display "Microsoft IME Standard 2002 ver 8.1".
   
   
6. Click OK.

This will enable the language bar, which allows you to switch between US English and the language you selected in the steps above.
