Non game-related... but how do you input japanese??

[pepsicon]

Nothing much to do with the technicalities of the game itself, but I've found myself unable to use Japanese input in the game... which is a shame because some of the ppl from the Japanese community are kind of nice and interesting fellows. I've had to use Romaji so far and have been avoided as I looked like i'm typing English >_>;;

Any clue? (Possible OS problem? Mine is a non-japanese Win7 ) Much thanks

I just use applocal's IME Japanese keyboard for it, just have to switch types with alt+shift and alt+caps. Windows 7 already has Japanese implemented just find your keyboard settings and browse a bit.

Edit: can find Keyboard languages in "control panel>Clock,language,location>region and language" select "change keyboard" under "keyboards and languages"

Ah! So it's alt+caps, I never would have imagined. Thanks for the tip, will try it out... after the server's back up XD|||

Alt+Capslock only shifts between hiragana and katakana for me. I just leave mine set to hiragana and use alt+~ to change between english and hiragana (this is assuming that you have already used alt+shift to change the keyboard language from english to japanese).

the thing about IME is pressing space while still on a line allows you to edit individual aspects into whatever type you want, it goes by sounds, not type.

(wow, sounds like I'm being mean, sorry. Just adding to it >.<)

No worries; I only use a very limited amount of Japanese and the available double-byte symbols at work, so I would not consider myself "well-versed" in the usage of IME.

The thing is i tried both alt+shft and alt+~ but neither worked, so I'll tamper around with the caps lock combination next time. Dunno what's wrong with my computer though, all my friends are inputting japanese just fine >_>;;

I had to use alt+~ once but after that it never worked. I think once IME initializes into PSO2 (your game may freeze for a second or 2 while it configues) it recognizes IME shortcuts instead of the Win7 auto "alt+~" key. Also, PSO2 seems to nativly support IME, more evidence of an international server? =^.-=

thanks, i'll be sure to try it out
I think the problem might be that my default japanese input was google input, hence causing incompatibility issues perhaps. I'll find out after the server's back up.

I do this on my laptop... (2 step process)

ALT+SHIFT

then

ALT+~
