Hi Greg,
I found the following in the Apple Help Viewer. I hope it helps...
About input methods for different languages
Some non-Roman languages like Japanese or Korean have too many characters to fit on a physical keyboard. You can set an input method for these languages in International preferences. The input method you choose determines what characters appear when you type, and provides a way to choose between alternative characters.
When you type a sequence of keys that refers to more than one character or word in a script, a window appears allowing you to choose the character or word you want to use.
When you install Mac OS X, all input methods for the languages that Mac OS X supports are installed on your computer. If you don't see the input method for the language you want to type in, you may need to install a third-party input method.
Some languages may not appear unless a font for that language is installed. For more information about the languages and fonts installed with Mac OS X, visit www.apple.com/support and search for "using different languages."
To use an input method:
Open System Preferences and click International.
Click Input Menu.
Select the checkbox next to the input method you want to use.
Select the "Show Input menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Click the Input menu icon in the upper-right corner of the menu bar. It looks like a flag.
Choose the input method from the menu.
If you're not familiar with the input method and how to use it, see the onscreen help for the input method. If you don't see help for the input method in the Input menu, choose Help for the application you're in. When the Help Viewer opens, choose the input method help from the Library menu.
You can also use the Keyboard Viewer to help you locate specific characters on your keyboard. For more information, click the link below.
Carolyn 🙂
