Many beginners in the Japanese language experience problems when using the computer in their studies. Windows, as it is installed on most computers, cannot correctly display Asian characters and it is not even possible to write in japanese on pc.

If your goal is not just to see Japanese characters and letters, but to write and practice using the computer, then we will need to install the appropriate Windows features. In this process, you will need the CD to install it.

An alternative for those who find it difficult to install japanese support on windows is to use the Ajax IME it's the Wakan since we can write in Japanese on the computer only with the Japanese letters installed. It is worth checking.

If you do not have the Windows installation CD, you can download and install the Windows IME (Japanese Windows Support) on the Microsoft website. Below are the download links.

If you have Windows/Office XP or higher you can download the IME from this link: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010347361033.aspx

If your office/windows is lower than XP, I advise you to download and install the previous version of IME from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/recommended/ime/install.mspx

To install another language on windows 7, for example Japanese, follow the tutorial clicking here.

If your Windows XP or Office is not genuine, I suggest you do not download the above files. During installation, Microsoft checks to prevent piracy of its programs and this can cause some inconvenience.

I've already received reports that Windows IME ends up working only for 30 days on pirated copies of Windows and Microsoft Office. The best way is to install Windows IME from the installation CD. Even Microsoft itself suggests this.

Starting to install Windows Japanese Support

To get started, go to the control panel and double click on the regional settings option.

Vai surgir a caixa de diálogo “opções regionais e de idiomas.” Estando nessa janela, clique na aba “idiomas”.

Identifique o item “suporte a idioma suplementar” e marque a opção “instalar arquivos para idiomas do leste asiático”.

After that, windows will display a message informing you that you have chosen to install Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This will require some disk space. Click ok and let's continue.

At this stage, you will need the Windows XP installation CD. Place the cd in your computer's cd-rom drive and click OK.

After copying the files supporting your chosen languages, the installation wizard will prompt you to restart your computer.

Click Yes and let the computer restart.

After windows restart, go back to the control panel; double-click the regional and language options icon. In the window that opens, click on the languages tab and then on the details button.

O nome da janela aberta agora é “Serviços de texto e idiomas de entrada”. Na opção “Serviços instalados”, clique no botão “Adcionar…”.

Ao abrir a janela “Adicionar idioma de entrada”, selecione Japonês para o campo “Idioma de entrada” e “Microsoft IME Standard 2002 ver. 8.1”, ou a versão mais atual, para o campo “Layout do teclado/IME”.

Agora basta sair clicando nos botões “OK” para concluir a instalação do suporte a japonês do Windows XP.

Note that after installation, a button should appear in the right corner of the taskbar showing the default Windows language. By clicking on this button we can choose to use another language. By selecting Japanese, we switched to using oriental language support and writing in katakana, hiragana and kanji.

Se, depois de selecionar o idioma Japonês, clicarmos novamente no botão de idiomas da barra de tarefas e selecionarmos a opção “Mostrar barra de idiomas”, poderemos ver e usar todos os recursos do suporte a Japonês do Windows XP para a escrita e leitura.

From now on your windows will be able to display Asian characters in texts and websites. You can use this feature with any program, from Notepad to more advanced word processors like Word. Try playing around with the language bar functions and see how it works.
