Note

  • To open "Regional and Language Options", click "Start", click "Control Panel", click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options", and then click "Regional and Language Options."
  • The East Asian languages include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The files for most other languages are installed on your computer automatically by Windows.
  • It is recommended that you install these files only if you are going to be entering or receiving text in one or more of these languages. The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files require about 230 megabytes (MB) of space on your hard disk. In addition to the language files, Input Method Editors (IMEs) are installed for each of the three languages.
  • After you install the East Asian language files on your computer's hard disk, you must add the individual languages for which you want to enter and display text. After you add a language, the language is loaded into memory every time you start your computer. For more information, click "Related Topics."
  • To remove the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files from your computer, clear the check box, and then click OK or Apply.

This page outlines the steps for installing East Asian languages on a computer running Windows XP, so that the user can both read and write in them. For Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Vista, please see the page on how to enable East Asian languages on Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Vista respectively, since the steps are somewhat different. Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 users have to download Asian language support and input editor files from Microsoft's Web site.
