Windows requirements
In order to support double-byte character sets (DBCS), your Windows workstation must be configured for one or more double-byte
languages.
For Windows 98, you must install a native Asian version of Windows 98.
For Windows 2000 and above, you can add language support through the Control Panel/Regional Options. Check the box under
Language Settings for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese.
On the
Input Locales tab, click
Add to add the corresponding input locale. This loads the Input Method Editor (IME) for your language so you can input double-byte
characters.
Note
You may be required to provide your Windows 2000 Installation CD in order to load the double-byte character support. Also,
you may be required to reboot your system before these new settings can take effect.
With multiple language support, the input language is changed by keying Alt+Shift.
This causes an icon in the status bar to change from EN (English) to various other symbols representing the other languages.
