Windows XP Home & Japanese?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Windows XP Pro that I have setup for Japanese.

I just bought a computer for a friend with Windows XP

Home edition, but I can't seem to enable Japanese.

 

Is this a limitation? Must I have Win XP Pro?

 

TIA

Not sure to what extent Japanese is enabled on the PC but perhaps your XP

Pro computer has other software that provided or enabled the Japanes

language IME ( input method editor, eg. from MS Office?) while the XP Home

computer doesn't have it. Something like the following download provides:
