H-Asia Query: Typing Traditional Chinese in Windows 7 Discussion published by Don Price on Friday, March 8, 2019 I need help with typing Chinese in Windows 7, specifically, traditional Chinese. The language menu via Settings offers Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) with a pinyin keyboard, but when I install it and type a pinyin word all I get on the screen is English, and there seens to be no way to get a list of character options out of that. A superior way that I managed to install on another laptop was a Google pinyin IME that allowed quick toggling with "ctrl-shift t" from traditional to simplified, but I have not found a way to download that on my Windows 7 system. Does anyone out there have any advice for me? WARNING: There is a Chinese input program which will input both simplified and traditional Chinese: the Sogou IME. On a Chinese friend's recommendation I installed it. But I had such a bad experience with it automatically replacing English with Chinese in Windows Explorer, Outlook, and other applications, as well as peppering my screen with popup ads, that I tried to uninstall it, found that uninstallation was impossible, that various malwares coiuld not remove it, so that I had to wipe my entire hard drive clean to get rid of it. Thank goodness I had a good cloud backup so that I could restore my files afterwards. While Sogou seems to be popular with PRC citizens and students abroad, I would definitely not recommend it for foreigners working mainly in a western language. Citation: Don Price.
