Some Incorrect information

The line below:

"...Because pinyin is used mostly in the People's Republic of China, pinyin methods frequently work better when inputting simplified Chinese. Depending on the quality of the traditional Chinese support of the system in question, input of traditional Chinese may not work, or it might not be possible to input some characters, or some of the convenience features might not work..."

This is incorrect. Pinyin is purely a romanization scheme based on pronounciation. Traditional Chinese doesn't have different words, just a more complex character set. I myself currently use the Taiwanese input system with Hanyu Pinyin turned on for typing purposes.

According to PC Home (A Taiwanese PC magazine), Hanyu Pinyin was rated #2 fastest Chinese input system. (Whether for simplified or traditional)

I agree

I agree with with the person above. I use Pinyin to type traditional, and I can say that it's perfectly the same as simplified. Taiwan's method of typing called ZhuYin is a duplicate of the PinYin system with the exact same pronounciation. For example, "bo" would be "b" and "po" would be "p". It's just another alphabet. I use pinyin mainly because I'm type mostly in english and I'm not familiar with the locations of the ZhuYin system. This obviously means that the pinyin system is the same as the zhuyin system, except with different symbols.207.81.184.128 01:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
