When you type a character from keyboard, what computer recieves is a code (called an ASCII code)... this code is then interpreted by softwares and displayed on the screen. When you use english keyboard then 'A' corresponds to 'A' it is displayed on screen.\nWhen you want to see Japanese or for that matter any other language other than english, the software you are using should be able to convert the keyboard input to the specific character of that language (there is a fixed mapping between english characters and characters of other language). This is done by choosing 'FONTS'... like 'A' can be displayed in various styles in English... it can also be displayed in Japanese or other language.\n\nWhen you work on internet.. not all sites support all fonts and most sites use english fonts. There is nothing you can change from your computer to enable typing in Japanese on these sites. You may browese a site which is in Japanese, there you'll be able to enter text in Japanese.

Your keyboard is set to US. Change it to your local country. You can do this from within the control panal in regional and language setting in XP. And keyboard settings in other version of windows.

Thats because you are not set to input in arabic. You need to go to control panel and then regional and language settings to change your input keyboard to input arabic. You can also download arabic character input and output at http://www.microsoft.com and look for arabic language downloads.\nGo directly to http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/arabicdev/Misc/Downloads.aspx and then download the arabic download that will let you install arabic input into your computer.\n\nYou need to go to CONTROL PANEL and then Regional/Language settings. Then go to Languages tab, then click on DETAIL and then you need to put in a keyboard input option for arabic.\n\nIt should work after that.

Try using the Alt Gr key, bottom right hand side, beside the space bar, that's only if you have a European keyboard.

Sometimes this happens if you're keyboard is setup for a different region than you are currently in.\n\nTo see if this is the problem do the following:\n\n1) Click start\n2) Control Panel\n3) Regional and Language options (you may need to click switch to classic view first if you cannot see it).\n4) Click the languages tab\n5) Click details\n\nMake sure your default input language is that of the country you are in. If your language is not in the drop down menu then click add and choose your language (Note: 1- there are many types of english so make sure you choose the correct one. 2) If your keyboard originates from another country then make sure that you select the language of its origin and your default input language).\n\nYou can also try reinstalling the keyboards drivers by choosing system from the control panel, clicking hardware and clicking device manager.\n\nHope this Helps!

You have to use the Windows disk to install Chinese as a language as well. You have to call out the language bar from some place (I forgot where) and use hanyu or pinyin to do it.

In Japanese, there is a phonetic character set (two, actually) called kana, consisting of 46 symbols each. There are only 46 distinct syllable sounds in the Japanese language. Japanese computers typically have a keyboard with each of these 46 characters mapped out. Alternatively, you can use the Roman alphabet to spell out these 46 sounds.\n\nChinese can also be entered phonetically. There are also some input methods that involve entering a character piece by piece, since complex Chinese characters are often composed of smaller, distinct pieces. This entry method can be supported with a relatively simple keyboard of 24 keys, each of which represents one or more of these pieces.

I have XP, but the process on your computer shouldn't be too much different. You will need to have your Windows installation cd.\n\nGo to the control panel.\n\nOnce there, click on Regional and Language Options.\n\nIn the dialog that opens, click the Languages tab.\n\nOn this tab, you will need to check the box that reads "Install files for East Asian languages".\n\nClick Apply.\n\nYou will be asked to insert your Windows cd so that the fonts can be copied from it.\n\nFollow any other prompts.\n\nClick OK to close Regional and Language Options.\n\nClose the control panel.\n\nHope this helps.
