Kanji – Hiragana – Romaji – English
日本語 – にほんご – nihongo – Japanese
If you can see the first two words in the second row, your computer is already configured to display Japanese characters. If you can’t see it, look below, and click on your operating system and follow the instructions on how to enable them.
Japanese Language Support:
All of you Mac OS X and Windows Vista users should already be able to see most languages.
Both of those guides also have instructions on how to install an IME, Input Method Editor. If you would like to be able to type Japanese, go ahead and install one. I would recommend doing this as it will be easier to look up characters and kanji and you will become more familiar with hiragana and katakana. Windows Vista and OS X users will have to enable the IME from within their system settings.
IME Instructions:
I hope you were able to enable Japanese text display on your computer. If you have any trouble, get in touch with me on Skype, leave a comment, or send me an email.
