Talk:Input method

At Wikipedia, you can use Template:Hiragana or Template:Katakana to enter Japanese kana one at a time. It's tedious, but effective.

I'm also working on a Javascript "Hiragana to romaji" converter. --Uncle Ed 16:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are two errors in the Japanese in the screenshot accompanying this article. Surely this is not supposed to be the case? What is writen is <コれわみずです> as opposed to the correct <これはみずです> (the first and third characters being incorrect). Perhaps this image should be replaced?--Printf("Sam") 22:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The author of the screenshot (who, according to his profile, doesn't speak Japanese) probably wrote "Kore" (with a capital K), resulting in コれ. Writing わ when it should be は is a mistake common among begginers. Also, the Mac OS X screenshot is in Dutch... lampi 20:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know. also Japanese people don't really use that character pad to type in.. it's really not reflective of what it really is. 71.128.143.13 07:55, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The OS X screenshot shows the character palette (which involves searching for each individual character you want to use), rather than the Kotoeri IME (which involves typing the syllables). Is the character palette also considered an IME? —Frungi 02:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
