  1. Japanese IME - Changing Romanji layout to anything but English US Layout


    Hello,I've recently started to use the Japanese Microsoft IME, and have been struggling with the romanji keyboard layout.I normally use the English Canadian keyboard as my default, but when I am using Japanese IME, and switch it to romanji mode, the default layout for it is English US.I was wondering if it would be able to switch the layout to another one, or possible to have that option added in the future.Thank you for your support.

    :)

  2. Japanese IME input with NON ENGLISH keyboard layout.

    Okay, first some info: I speak lots of languages, so I need to have multiple languages installed on my pc. I live in Denmark and have a Danish keyboard which is very different from an English keyboard. Danish is my default language on Windows. It has to
    be the default language in order to make my default input language Danish.

    I have used the override feature in order to force my display language to be English, and I've changed my location to the US because I prefer to have my system in English. The thing is, I also speak Japanese, so I have the Japanese IME installed.

    The problem is that the default keyboard layout for the romaji input is the English keyboard layout. I cannot choose my Danish keyboard layout.

    How do I change the input layout for the Japanese IME to my DANISH keyboard layout? I can only choose the English keyboard layout, and that doesn't match my actual physical keyboard at all. It's just a mess. When I press ?, I just see a square bracket instead,
    for example.

    Japanese IME with German QWERTZ-Layout

    Thanks for the reply,

    I did add the input language japanese(日本語), as well as german(Deutsch (Deutschland)), english and french.

    In the options screen for japanese, I only have the option to:

    • download handwriting
    • further settings for speech recognition
    • change layout of hardware keyboard (only japanese and english keyboard available)
    • remove/add new keyboard (Microsoft-IME or third party IME)
    • configure Microsoft-IME
    Thus I assume the language package has already been intalled.

    In Region & language in the language list, there is also written that the language pack is installed for japanese.

    I am looking forward to your help.

    Japanese IME - Changing Romanji layout to anything but English US Layout

    Japanese IME with German QWERTZ-Layout

    I am using Windows 10.

    Being german, my keyboard has the german QWERTZ layout.

    I want to write in Japanese, so I am using Microsoft-IME.

    I can set the Hardware Keyboard to english or japanese layout, but there is no other layout available.

    I don't see the reason why microsoft excluded every other existing layout.

    I tried using third-party IME, but those use the same configuration as Microsoft-IME.

    How can I set the hardware keyboard layout to standard german QWERTZ (or any other layout)?

    I can set the layout for other languages freely, why not for japanese?
