Description Unknown 2002-05-25 19:08:51 UTC 
Using Windows 98 with Global IME for Chinese (GB) and NJStar to enter Chinese.
No problem with them when used with Office 2K.  With OpenOffice.org 1.0, the
Chinese options won't show on the IME menu when I am in OO with a cursor ready
to enter Chinese in any OO application.  When using NJStar to enter Chinese,
I can only see garbled codes.

These problems don't seem to occur on Windows 2000.

This is an l10n issue, not a lang issue. Reassigning. Also, lowering
priority.

Makes no sense being assigned to a mailing list. Reassigned to default
owner.

DL->SBA: Would you please takeover?
Comment 4 Joost Andrae 2002-12-03 16:10:07 UTC 
Joost->Jun: please check this again in the soon upcomping OOo 1.0.2
build. Several bugfixes regarding input method editors will be
integrated into this version.

ES->SBA: IME + Win98...
Comment 6 stefan.baltzer 2003-02-11 16:48:07 UTC 
SBA: On Win98, only the IMEs that the respective native system brings
are supported. Therefore I changed the title slightly.
"Other" IMEs sometimes have a different API that can only work with MS
Office. This means that some IMEs work "by chance" with OO.org and
others don't. This can't be fixed.

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved duplicate

unfortunately to set them to verified.
