    No personalization Traditional Chinese Pinyin IME

    Hi,

    This is not very relevant to this particular problem, which occurs when the language pack and the IME is already installed and in use.

    The problem is that when you use the “Microsoft Pinyin Input method" to type traditional rather than simplified Chinese characters, the personalisation options are all grayed out. As a result the IME will not remember your most commonly used characters,
    which makes typing in Chinese extremely laborious. This problem does not occur when you set the same IME to "Simplified Chinese".

    My questions are:

    - Is it possible to turn personalisation on for Traditional Chinese? This is not straightforwardly possible in the settings.

    - Or alternatively, is there an IME for using Hanyu Pinyin to type Traditional Chinese Characters which is equivalent to or better than the Microsoft Pinyin IME.

    “Traditional Chinese IME is not ready yet” on Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    It looks like the IME dictionaries are not downloaded for the language pack due to which you are receiving that error message. I request you to follow the suggestion provided by Tiero Chi in the thread:
    Problems using a Japanese or Traditional Chinese IME
    on a non-Japanese or non-Traditional Chinese version of Windows 10 immediately after installing the April 2018 Update
    and write back with the results.

    Problems using a Traditional Chinese IME

    Problems using a Japanese or Traditional Chinese IME on a non-Japanese or non-Traditional Chinese version of Windows 10 immediately after installing the April 2018 Update.

    If you are running a non-Japanese or non-Traditional Chinese version of Windows 10 and are experiencing any of these problems, try these steps to resolve them:

    Symptom 1:
    You may not able to type Japanese or Traditional Chinese characters when first signing into your account.


    If you are connected to the Internet, you can wait for the IME dictionaries to download.
    If you’d prefer not to wait, or if are not connected to the Internet,
    when selecting your operating system language, please choose a Japanese or Traditional Chinese operating system.
    These languages include pre-loaded IME dictionaries.
    In some cases, your PC manufacturer or enterprise may offer a customized Windows 10 you may choose that already includes an IME dictionary to avoid this problem.

    Symptom 2:
    You may not be able to type Japanese or Traditional Chinese characters if your do not have an Internet connection or before the dictionary is downloaded.


    If you think you might have problems downloading the IME dictionary, first check if the download was successful.
    To do this, open Settings, and select Apps.
    Then select Manage Optional Features. If your Japanese or Traditional Chinese IME dictionaries have been successfully installed, you should see “Japanese typing” or “Chinese (Taiwan) typing
    within the list of Optional Features.

    If you don’t see a successful download, try resolving this issue by manually downloading the IME dictionary.
    (These steps require an Internet connection.)

    1. At the Start menu, click Cortana’s search box and type “Command Prompt”.
    2. Right-click Command Prompt in the search results and select
      Run as Administrator.
    3. In the Command Prompt window, type one of the following command and press Enter to install the basic typing Features on Demand package:
    • For Japanese basic typing:
    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Language.Basic~~~ja-JP~0.0.1.0

    • For Traditional Chinese basic typing:
    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Language.Basic~~~zh-TW~0.0.1.0

    Symptom 3:
    Windows server update services (WSUS) may not detect your Japanese or Traditional Chinese IME in some corporate environments.


    If you’re using Windows 10 Enterprise in a corporate environment and can't type Japanese or Traditional Chinese characters, please ask your local IT administrator for help.
