the US keyboard and korean keyboard are different.
for example, the letter [m] is located in the lower right hand side of the US keyboard. but the korean equivalent to the [m] would be [ㅁ] -- which is found in the center row of the left hand side.

if you type [thank you] with the korean keyboard, it comes out as [소무ㅏ ㅛㅐㅕ]~ which definitely does not mean thank you.

so is there a way i can type korea correcly using the US keyboard?

If you have Korean installed, and the Language bar is there, here are some tricks.

One thing, when installing, if you have a choice, install the "IME 2002" Keyboar IME. I don't think the older one does a lot of this stuff. If some of this doesn't work (particularly the IME Pad), try unistalling and re-installing Eastern Language support. To un-install, make sure no programms are running, and do as if you were installing it, only UNcheck th "Install files for East Asian Language support, and click on OK. Then re-install.

Here's the basic Language bar:


-------------------------------------
Click on the 'EN' for the toggle menu:


---------------------------------------
Click on the 'KO' to change it to Korean:


--------------------------------------
Right-click on the bar, nad there's a menu to change some settings:


--------------------------------------
For the rest of these, I've turned off "Text Labels", since it takes up less space that way.

You may not see all the options. Click on the downward-pointing triangle on the right end of the bar for another menu:


---------------------------------------
Clicking the "Soft Keyboard" button puts a keyboard on the screen. You can type by clicking on its keys, or use it as a guide for the regular keyboard:


--------------------------------------
Clicking the "IME Pad" button gives you a simple menu:


-----------------------------------------
Selecting the Handwriting option gives you a little pad you can write Hangul on:


.................
It will give you a selection of what you might want (here, I tried to enter "Chang"):


--------------------------------------------
If you have some Hagul text highlighted, clicking on the "Hanja" button brings up a menu:


................
Choosing one of these to convert selected Hangul to Hanja:

so is there a way i can type korea correcly using the US keyboard?

err. i`m afraid i don`t understand exactly what you`re trying to ask?
i type in korean using an US keyboard -- granted i switch the language input. i just know the korean keyboard setup in relation to the US keyboard.

like how do i write thank you or any other words correctly if this is not correct ---> 소무ㅏ ㅛㅐㅕ

you have to know the korean word you`re trying to write first.
'thank you' in korean is 감사합니다 [kamsahabnida]. but the romanization does not correspond to how the korean is written~

I have the Korean all installed on my computer but..
I'd like to know how to switch between English and Korean using the keyboard. I KNOW you can like...hit CTRL or ALT or something and it'll switch but...nothing like that works for me so I always have to go to the language bar and change it.

Click on the little downward-pointing triangle on the Language Bar, and select "Settings" from the menu. Click on the "Key Settings" button [1]. This brings up the "Advanced Key Settings" dialog, which shows keys to press to switch. If you click on the "Change Key Sequence" button [2], you can set your own prefrences.

i did it and it still writes in korean..

[swtfirefly]

EDIT: nevermind. haha i didn't see the tutorial above ^^;

[dysphoria]

Until recently, my IME thing worked for typing in languages like Japanese and Chinese...

But now it's like this:


The options for typing doesn't work anymore... and yeah, I can't type in any other language by English, even if I put the keyboard setting to JP or CH >"<

Did anyone else have this problem... or know how to fix it..?

I don't have a winXP pro disk to put in too... to try the "Install East Asian languages" thing.. but I did try going to download.com to download the IMEs from there.. and Repair Files, but it didn't work either

My friend is going to lend me her windows disk in a few days... so I hope that'll work.. but yeah ^^;;; Just wondering if anyone has this problem too...

;x Does anyone know how to display foreign characters on the comp correctly? I have installed Korean and can view Korean on the webpage/internet, but not in the title bar of the browser (or javascript pop ups) OR in my files. Ex: 잘할게.wmv in my folder.

I get funky letters and boxes instead. How can I fix this?

it's your settings. On your window, go to View, Character Encoding and click on korean or anyother language you would need.

Can anyone please tell me what the japanese letters are on the key board for both katakana and hiragana? like 'U' is ｳ。
it would help me out alot.

and chinese..

For Japanese, it should be based on romaji and for Chinese it should be based on pinyin.
but if that's not it, then refer here
