Haha! I got traditional working with hanyu pinyin by changing the 中文台灣 settings, but I
can't change the character if its not correct. For example, I want to say 我要到台湾去。Ok,
easy enough right? But when I use this new system, I get 我要到台灣區. With tones I can get
it to say what I want. But what if I want to say something more obscure, for example 姊姊。With
this system I get 子子. Even with tones it doesn't work. What do I do?

Madizi: that is a great topic, and it sure is a mess here, but I think what the OP meant is: is
there a way to type traditional in (Hanyu) pinyin. I actually don't think the transliteration mess
is related to the type of characters.
(Taiwan does have a kind of semi-default-standard, which is bad Wade-Giles, that is, W-G without
the ' and ", and yi instead of i. But few Taiwanese actually know this system.)

I know, Lu, I know. It was just a side note......

After typing, when the characters are still underlined with a dotted line, press the up/down arrow
buttons. A list of options will appear and you can choose the right option by pressing the right
number or using the up/down arrow buttons or using the mouse (if there are a lot of options, use
page up/down). After this, press return to confirm the choice.

To type Traditional characters with pinyin, you don't even have to bother downloading the 台湾
input interface. If you use Microsoft IME or something like it (such as 紫光, etc.) there should
be a button that is labeled "简". If you click on it, it will turn to “繁" and you will be
able to type in Traditional!

Ahha! Xiaojiang, thank you! This is so much better! I like the normal microsoft input method, and
I'm used to it, so its great to be able to type just like I do simplified. I got it set up so the
簡/繁 button is on my taskbar.

Is there any way of setting a keystroke so I can change between simp and trad? I'm totally ok with
the way it is now (its also nice to not have to toggle between three languages), but that would
make changing between the two even faster. But if not, no problem.

Thanks a bunch!

I haven't seen a way, but I'm interested in knowing if there is one.

I practiced a little with CE-Star on my Pocket PC using ㄅㄆㄇㄈ as input - copied a couple of
stories from a Taiwanese book, which had Hanzi and Bopomofo. The character layout can be seen on
the screen and you just click on the symbol to type it.

There are 2 ways - one way to type Hanzi using Bopomofo, another method to practice is to enter
the Zhuyin Fuhao characters themselves.

I would think there is, but not sure which one. Try out some combinations, like shift-space or
control-shift, something like that might do the trick.

I used the method you're using now, but when you use that to write emails to Taiwan they come out
as luanma on the other end (computers here use Big-5 instead of GB2312), so if you want to email
to Taiwan, you might have to figure out another method.
