    Chinese input lag after switch


    When I switch to the Chinese input method from another language and start typing immediately, there is a delay of several seconds with no response, and after then all the characters I just typed suddenly appear.

  2. Chinese Pinyin input

    Hi sanlvye,

    Yes, you may use Microsoft Pinyin (keyboard) for both Simplified and Traditional Chinese input. Here's
    how you can switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese input when using Microsoft Pinyin (keyboard):

    1. Go to Settings > Time & Language >
      Region & language
      .
    2. Under Languages, select Chinese (Simplified). If you have not installed it yet, click on
      Add a language and search for Chinese (Simplified).
    3. Click Options and choose Microsoft Pinyin under
      Keyboards.
    4. Click Options > Keys > Hot keys.
    5. Under the Simplified/Traditional Chinese input switch option, turn it
      On.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Unable to install Chinese traditional input pack, Windows 10 1803

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand how difficult it could be. In order to get clarity on the issue and assist you with appropriate steps, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

    1. Are these laptops connected to domain network?
    2. Do you get any error message or code when you try to install?
    3. Is the issue specific to Chinese Traditional input language?

    We would suggest you to go through
    Add and switch input and display language preferences in Windows 10
    and
    Language packs
    for more details. Please try adding different language and check if the issue persists.

    We await your response.
