cannot use chinese (traditional) input for trackpad after install lion

MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro Apple Support

I also the same & very disappointed!

The specifications say it supports simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Perhaps the configuration is different.

Try using:

System Preferences > International ...

... to set it up again.

I found a way to bring up the traditional with the normal use of hand window, lookfor your reference.
1 input source -> Traditional Chinese input method for all options, please tick all.
2 Input Source -> Simplified Chinese input method to select a five-stroke input.
Finished selecting exit, Traditional handwriting input can be properly called outand the normal use.
If only she only traditional handwritten input, even after the exit and then go checkto see that they will be no check
! Should also check if simplified input method (but not checked this simplifiedhandwriting) to change the normal function of traditional hand-written, very strange! I do not know why?

Open language and text preferences

• - Select all chinese tradional boxes
• - and also select all chinese simple’s Wubi

⚠ I'm sorry, but that is imho not a "correct" answer in that it

1. Doesn't actually fix the main issue (trackpad cannot be used for both traditional and simplified)

2. Is no better or worse than the "fix" to enable or disable trackpad input in the preferences only for whichever method you want to use currently, while retaining all other default settings.

I'm only mentioning this so Apple doesn't assume the issue is fixed, not to criticise honfromnewcastle's efforts! 😉

Bottom line: it is not reliable. Apple products should be better than that.

I have the same problem for a long time after I install Lion and I tried this temp solution. May be it can help you.

e,g. Handwriting cannot work in Safari:

1. Quit the Safari completely.

2. Start the handwriting in Finder.

3. Press "暫停" in handwriting window.

4. Start the Safari again.

5. Reactive the handwriting.

I have tried this solution many time and it work for me. I hope this solution can help you.

Thanks for the info, but the solution doesn't work all the time either.

Bottomline: this needs to be fixed. Apple just opened a huge store in Hong Kong and it is ridiculous that we have to struggle with this.

Is it just me, my luck, or is trackpad handwriting a whole lot smoother in 10.7.2?

Problem is still here.

Temp solution

1) unselect chinese inputs,

2) Restart

3) select chinese inputs

4) if still doesn't work, hard reset (hold on to power button for 5 seconds)

Yep. That's the ticket. Worked for me.
