Yair, I really haven't thought about that before, but I've just added SHIFT_JIS metatags to the forum templates. Tell me if you continue to experience problems with Japanese text input.

EDIT: I had to remove these metatags as they were messing up other special characters (French accents etc). I will think of another solution, at least for the Nihongo Forum.

Thanks, Thomas!

I still have problems and it is increasingly apparent that they are between my IE and Kotoeri. I have to fix that before I can use kana here...

I've found a way of using SHIF_JIS metatags in specific fora. Later today we'll set up a nihongo-only subforum in the Nihongo Lounge. Hopefully, there won't be any problems in writing/displaying/reading kanji and kana.

Thanks again - very good idea.
Meantime I try to resolve my own problem with Kotoeri in IE. Judging from some posts on the Net, other Mac users seem to have similar problems.

@yair
You on a PCI or AGP G4? I'm on a pci 400 G4 ... I use OSX and installing other languages is a snap. Would make a lot of users like thomas jealous since I think it does Arabic no problem.

@frat guys.
that was too funny. I should put something together with my buddies. All hell would break loose.

@jokes
come on guys, they're jokes and you're taking them too seriously.
hint:
kesa maiasa .... so far so good. Now repeat this over and over quickly.

the other one:
Don't touch my moustache.
hint ::: think in katakana. Not very funny though actually.

Moyashi,

"PCI or AGP G4"?

I've got both. However, both use OS9.1 because a bunch of applications I need for my work don't run under OSX...

Re kesa maiasa - hey, those guys over there seem to know English too well!

Re the other one: Katakana, eh?

Actually I was trying to read something much more funny in it. I shouldn't have put my dirty mind in full gear...

@katakana one.
it's a pretty standard Japanese reply.

@applications?
like what are you using? Office? entourage?
Office ... you should check out www.openoffice.org
entoruage is M$ last bit of strangle hold on PC users.

@dirty mind.
a true american eh!

>>it's a pretty standard Japanese reply.<<

Those folks in Hokkaido sound to be quite rugged

Re applications: the standard commercial stuff, like Office, is OK; the OSX compatibility problems start with the custom-made business software we use.
BTW: I liked very much what I saw on the OpenOffice site. It also shows what a smart step was from Apple to migrate to UNIX. There will be a bunch of developers jumping on this bandwagon.

Re dirty mind - my experience is that nothing is more international than that! Just look at the exploding world population...
