Overview of Chinese features in Windows 8 and 10: fonts, IMEs, and more.See the list below for information on 'advanced' features like the desktop language bar, the IME Pad, and other features. At the bottom of the General tab, under 'Select an output character type', choose 'Simplified Chinese', then click the 'OK' button. That will take you to the classic control panel for this IME. To get the character set selection, open the Tool Menu and select 'Properties'. If you look at this screen shot carefully, you'll see that I'm actually already finished: the Chinese/Latin button - third from the left - is a red з®Ђ (jian3) character, and in the Tool Menu the IME Pad is grayed out and disabled. If you're using the desktop language bar (which I show how to setup on the advanced features page), you'll need far fewer clicks to get where we're going. In MS Bopomofo settings, select the 'Select an output character type' menu, and choose 'Simplified Chinese characters':Д¬hanging MSZY to Simplified from the desktop language bar Then on next panel scroll down to 'Keyboards' and select 'Microsoft Bopomofo' to reveal its buttons, and click 'Options' again: Then on the right, under 'Languages', select the Traditional character region ('дёж–‡пј€й¦™жёЇз‰№е€ҐиЎЊж”їеЌЂпј‰' if you've selected Hong Kong as I've recommended, or Taiwan, or Macau) to reveal the buttons:Д¬lick on the 'Options' button there. On the left, click on 'Region & language'. This will take you to the Time & Language settings panel. (If you are using the classic desktop language bar - I show how set that up on the advanced features page - you can click here to jump to that section.) When the menu opens, select 'Language preferences'. In this screen shot, that's the 'Bo' for Bopomofo. Open this by first clicking/tapping on the IME icon. We begin once again at the Language menu.

The MSZY IME Pad will be disabled in this mode (although at the Windows 10 launch the MS PY IME Pad was missing entirely), and switching between Simplified and Traditional requires going into Settings each time. And as far as I can tell, in this mode MSZY makes use of the same default SimSun font and mainland China GB-18030 encoding used in in MSPY. MSZY's rival, the mainland-developed MSPY, is in contrast meant for fast phrase-based input and very little else. You may prefer MSZY's Pinyin input method features, which allows for narrowing down the candidate list by tone number, and displays a larger candidate list when needed. There are very good reasons why some of you will want to use MSZY instead of MS PY for Simplified characters. I've taken to calling this one 'MS ZY' based on its Chinese name, еѕ®иЅЇжіЁйџі. MS Bopomofo, available in the 'Chinese, Traditional' region setup, supports Hanyu Pinyin input for both Traditonal and Simplified characters. Instead of MSPY in 'Chinese, Simplified' setup, some users go elsewhere. Windows offers a built-in alternative to Microsoft Pinyin, the standard Pinyin input keyboard for Simplified characters, also known as 'MSPY'.
