Many Japanese wordprocessors take input in the form of Romaji and give you a list of kanji to choose from.




Is there a way to get a western keyboard to write in kana/kanji without relying in romanji? I have seen hiragana stickers for the keyboard keys for sale on ebay, but have not been able to find a way of typing in Japanese except with Microsoft IME. I have finished learning the hiragana now, and want to write to a Japanese friend of mine, but I don't want to constantly be drumming romanji into my mind whenever I write on the computer. Does anyone know how to do this?


In the Microsoft IME properties dialog box, there will be an option called 'Input Method'

Change this from 'romanji input' to 'kana input'

Also you might want to know that many Japanese just use a short form romanji input for computer typing.
