Windows 10: Windows 10 in Traditional Chinese

Hello


Am looking to buy a laptop for my Dad who doesn't know much English so want to configure Windows in Traditional Chinese for him. Doesn't need ability to type in Chinese character, just to see the menu options, icons, windows, tabs etc. in Chinese.


The default Windows OS description on a laptop I've been looking at says it is in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian. I'm sure I read somewhere (although can't remember from where) that on Windows 10, you can change the system language to anything you want - you just need to download and install the applicable pack. Is that correct? If so, are these default languages just to get you started? Further if so, is this ability available on all versions of Windows 10 or would I need to get, say, the 64-bit Pro version?


Many thanks

:)

 

Traditional Chinese pinyin keyboard in window 10

How to HanYuPinYin to input Traditional Chinese in Windows 10?

step 1: In Windows 10 , go to "settings"; "Time &" Language"; "Region & Language"; "Add a language"; "Chinese (Simplied)".

please note: the (Simplified) includes the Traditional words.

Step 2: under the "Language", select "中文（中华人民共和国）“；”Options“； ”Keyboards“；select ”Microsoft Pinyin“；”options“。

Step 3：under ”Microsoft PinYin“， select”Character sets”， choose A character sets from (simplified Chinese) to (Traditional Chinese). The job is done!

Please note: Although you can use this method to input hanyupinyin and get the traditional Chinese characters, but if you need to switch to Simplified Chinese, you have to go to the step 3 again and change the Character Set from Traditional Chinese to the
Simplified Chinese. I hope Microsoft or its developers can add some patch to fix it so that in the future, users can easily switch language from English or Chinese Traditional or Chinese Simplified modes.

Some other people suggested to use HongKong Traditional Chinese and bopomofo keyboard, but you can not select the candidite font （同音字）。I think Microsoft engineer may fix this bug in the future.
