MS IME typing Japanese nonsense

I use a laptop with Windows 7.  I use MS IME for input (Romaji) English characters which then change in Japanese

hiragan or katakana and finally to Kanji.  However, there is a disjunction between what I'm typing on the keyboard and what appears on the screen.

I reinstalled (or reopened IME and returned to English keyboard, and then reconfigure and played with all the properties).  Someone has an idea?

Example of what happens: I type 'arigato' and get a string of the same number of characters in hiragana, but they are nonsense.   Anyone else seen elsewhere and fixed it?   Help much appreciated.

    I would like to install the Japanese IME, but I can't. I followed the instructions, some show different items:

  • Using Microsoft IME JAPANESE INPUT

    Hello

    I use a Windows Vista-based computer. I clicked the button "Restore default settings" in the Language weeks bar and therefore was unable to type Japanese or Chinese. I thought it's because Microsoft IME is not there.

    May I know how I'll be able to download back Microsoft Global IME for Japanese?
    (I use Office 2003)

    Thank you. Urgent!

  • ToggleKeys IME Japanese hiragana?

    Hello! I installed the IME Japanese and changed my location to the Japan so I could display Japanese in the programs that normally do not support these characters such as Skype. However, when I'm in the Japanese IME, I can't toggle Hiragana with a keyboard shortcut? I can switch from the standard JP and vice versa, but I want to stay in mode JP because clicking hiragana each time is a pain. No help for it?

    Hey moronicus_lithog,

    Please check these Japanese IME keyboard shortcuts.

    Keyboard shortcuts

    ALT-~ (tilde): Cycles between kana and direct entry mode

    ALT - SHIFT: Travels of available languages

    ALT-CAPS_LOCK:  Past in katakana input mode

    CTRL-CAPS_LOCK: Past in hiragana input mode

    SHIFT - ALT:  Allows you to switch between English and Japanese.

    Control - ~: Switches between the current entry mode and the English mode within the Japanese IME.

    TIP: It is tedious to switch between input mode Hiragana and direct entry through the language bar. Instead, you can switch by pressing Alt + Tilde (key below ESC on your keyboard).  So, if you need to type Japanese, press Alt + Tilde and start typing. When you are done press Alt + Tilde again to revert to English. To get the same result in Japanese mode, press Control - ~.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Kind regards

  • Re:. The Japanese input method editor (ime)

    Hello. for about a week now my Japanese ime in student outlook 2007 version crashes when I try to convert kanji to hiragana (Japanese Chinese characters). He eventually release but only after a few minutes. Because the IME is integrated into the language settings in windows 7 64 bit (on a satellite) it doesn't let me uninstall and reinstall. I tried to remove and re - add keyboard/IME Japanese but that doesn't work either.

    I guess it went wrong, because I installed and then uninstalled other Japanese software so the converter now start by looking in the wrong place for the character. I tried to fix outlook, but who does not work either. All thoughts welcome.

    Thank you

    Gary

    > I guess that it was wrong, because I installed and then uninstalled other Japanese software so the converter now start by looking in the wrong place for the character

    Maybe some software you have installed do a few worries now
    Maybe you can affect the BONE at the beginning point before the installation of additional software.

    You can set the operating system to the point in the early time to the rest of the way:

  • Spectrum x 360: physical keyboard and Japanese IME

    Hi all

    It is the first time that I post on this forum and I thank in advance those who would come here to help.

    I suspect that my problem is very special, if not unique. In fact, after a few days of digging through the internet, I have not found a single reference to my problem, it is:

    my hardware keyboard is Italian, but I often need to write in Japanese, so I installed the Japanese language and the Japanese IME input mode. But for the life of me I can't have the physical keyboard to type Japanese characters. Japanese IME is active, the romaji entry appears, and that's all. I can't go to the katakana or hiragana input.

    If I try to open the Windows IME options this opens a second and shut (as it had crashed).

    Same behavior when I try to access these options from the control panel. I tried to uninstall and reinstall 2 or 3 times without success.

    In any case, the touch keyboard works perfectly with the Japanese IME. I can get into any kind of Japanese characters.

    What can I do to type in Japanese also on the physical keyboard?

    I solved it by installing ATOK2015 input method. It is a proprietary application that serves as an alternative to Windows Japanese IME. Then by chance, I put the Japanese system and Windows locale IME started working too. Anyway now I use ATOK (much better), so I don't care anymore.

    I thank very you much for your time and your efforts.

    Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the spectrum of x 360. It is the best laptop I've ever seen.

  • Japanese IME for Windows XP SP3-

    To make the story short, I had a nasty virus that has swept through my internet connection. I had to use the recovery disc and reinstall everything. Was having a hard time to reinstall Windows XP Service Pack 2 and get the laptop that works properly. One of my friends told me that I had to download SP3 online because it is supposed to be on the black list for security reasons. Installed the two Pkg of Network Installation SP3 for IT professional and developers and Microsoft Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3). Made sure I registered my account and not just ran programs. Now, I'm trying to install Japanese Global IME on my laptop. I get an error everytime I try to add another language in the regional/Languange framework Option in the Panel. I click on the for E Asian languages installation files and the box pops up saying "insert disk-Windows XP Home Ed." I press OK and the box pops up reading "copy of files of...» E:\i386. I changed to C:/i386 and have also went ahead and got the i386 file. However, he still will not accept. I found this file i386 under C: local drive and folder with a file name xjis 5af3ed6530847d7254826e. What I am doing wrong?

    Hello

    If you are able to install the IME before but take a look at this:


    IMPORTANT NOTE: in Microsoft Windows XP, you do not have to install the IME as described in this article. Windows XP already includes the necessary IME files to enter East Asian languages and languages that require complex script characters or the ability to enter right to left languages.

  • IME (Input Method Editor) keeps crashing my applications (in particular, subject to typing Chinese (Taiwan))

    Question:
    Until recently, the IME (Chinese - Taiwan) worked perfectly for me, but yesterday when I was using it to type Chinese, it crashes my applications when I use it (eg. when I tried to type Chinese in Skype, Skype crashed. In IE, IE crashed, in Google Chrome, Chrome crashed, etc.).

    Info:
    I use Windows XP Home Edition and my settings for Chinese (Taiwan) is Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a (Hanyu Pinyin is selected under the keyboard mapping).

    Things I've tried:
    -Under Text Services and input languages, I removed the Chinese (Taiwan) under installed Services, apply the changes and readded so he still hopes once it will work. There can be no.
    -I remember typing in Chinese successfully on 16 may, and so I used system restore to restore my system from May 15 in the hope that it will help, restarted the computer, but the same problem persisted.
    -J' thought of uninstalling the IME, but didn't know how. Don't know if this is related, but according to the language support extra, the box to install the files for East Asian languages is grayed out, so I could not remove it and reinstall - don't know if this will help.

    Any ideas? Please help as I tried Googling for answers, but nothing helps and I'm at my wits end. Appreciate it. Thank you.

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:

  • Can't type correctly with Japanese IME on the English English keyboard/windows 7

    Hello, I have a problem with Windows 7 Home Premium English on the English keyboard when entering Japanese with IME.

    No, I shouldn't need the Ultimate edition: with Windows Vista and XP Home Edition Premium or equivalent editions, it was not a problem.

    With Windows 7 IME, the keyboard seems to be linked to the Japanese keyboard.
    For example, if you type [Shift] + [2].
    -English keyboard return [@]
    -Japanese keyboard return [""] (double quote)

    I physically have an English keyboard with my PC, and I get ["] when I actually meant to type [@].

    As I mentioned, it was perfectly fine with XP or Vista, type with Japanese IME and the English keyboard layout. How to make the setting even with Windows 7?

    Here's how I solved the problem, but I do recommend not really - MS should distribute a fix to fix.

    1. open the registry editor.

    2. go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\i8042prt\Parameters

    3. change the value of LayerDriver JPN kbd101.dll to kbd106.dll

    4. change the value of OverrideKeyboardIdentifier from PCAT_106KEY to PCAT_101KEY

    5 change the value from 2 to 0 OverrideKeyboardSubtype

    6. close the registry editor and restart Windows.

  • Japanese IME input gel

    I use Microsoft IME for entry to the Japanese keyboard for years, with no problems. But for these last days, when I type something and try to choose Kanji options in the dropdown menu, what application I'm blaming the text in freezes. Word, Firefox, Notepad, any who, they all freeze. It's a question very reproducible, since it happens every time I try to select text in the menu dropdown. I did not any changes to my computer for a while and did nothing with what I do not normally do, so I have no idea what would cause this problem to occur all of a sudden. I use Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop.

    Update: I have advanced and reinstalled Windows, so I have more question. I still have no idea what caused it in the first place however.
