There are input methods you can install on Windows and Linux, and likewise with "keyboards" with Mac. If you do not wish to install input methods, there are also specialized software like NJStar (a Chinese word processor), and there are some online IMEs you can use to type in Chinese as well.

∙ 15y agoTo be able to read Chinese on your computer you must have the language installed in your computer. Chinese is based on characters not from the English alphabet and this means that your computer will need the programs/files to decode Chinese characters.
To add Chinese on windows XP, go into 'Control Panel'...'Regional and Language Options'...Select the 'Languages' tab...Under Text services and input languages' click on 'Details' ... Click on 'Add'... Then select the Chinese language you wish to add. There are different encodings of Chinese for different countries so you can install all of the files if you wish. (Note: You may need your windows installation disk to add languages.)
Now that you have Chinese in your operating system you should be able to read Chinese in documents and files. To be able to read it in your web browser, you will need to also add Chinese into your browser's language capabilities.

2. Bo Po Mo Fo or zhuyin fuhao is not used as often but is based on a type of Chinese alphabet that used simiarly like the English alphabet. There are 37 characters and 4 tones in the Chinese zhuyin fuhao system. Each key on the keyboard would represent on character or tone. All the alphabet keys as well as the numbers are used.
3. Cangjie is based on root characters that are within one Chinese character. A Chinese character is broken down into different geographical parts and each part can be represented by a basic character component. There are 24 different character components.

Ohkay, so in the Chinese language, we have something called PINYIN, which shows the pronunciation in the English alphabet. For example ni hao means hello. So for the Chinese keyboard, we type in the pinyin for the word we want, & then a box pops out with Chinese characters, and they're numbered so we choose the word we need when we type in the number. Many words have the same pinyin but they always have totally different meanings and look different.
