Hai ! This is possible : ) To type text on your computer in character-based languages, such as Chinese and Japanese, follow these steps: [Source: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Type-in-Chinese-Japanese-and-other-character-based-languages] Add the language as an input language. If you
want to use an input method editor (IME), make sure you select it when
you add the input language. For more information, see Add an input language. You can edit documents in multiple languages by
changing the language (the input language) in which you type. Input
languages are included with Windows, but you need to add them to your list of languages before you can use them.
Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options.
Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change keyboards. Under Installed services, click Add. Double-click the language you want to add,
double-click the text services you want to add, select the text services
options you want to add, and then click OK. Change your input language to the language you installed. For more information, see Change your input language. The input language is a setting in Windows
that controls the language you use to type information on your
computer. Before you can change an input language, you need to add that
language to Windows. For more information, see Add an input language. Click the Input language button on the Language bar, and then click the input language you want to use.
If you don't see the Language bar, right-click the taskbar, point to Toolbars, and then click Language bar. Change your keyboard layout to the desired layout. For more information, see Change your keyboard layout.
You can customize your keyboard for a specific
language or format by changing the keyboard layout. The layout controls
which characters appear on the screen when you press the keys on your
keyboard. Some input languages have several keyboard layouts; others
have only one. For example, you can change your keyboard layout from
the English QWERTY format to the English Dvorak format. After you change
the layout, the characters on your screen might not correspond to the
characters on your keyboard keys. Before you can change the keyboard layout, you must add the input language and keyboard layout that you want to use to Windows. For more information, see Add an input language. On the Language bar, click the Input language button, and then select how can I type Japanese o keybord? - 93d5c617-b1ec-4138-a1ff-973e71de80fe.png
