Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the boxes for the kinds of traditional and simplified chinese you want to use and then also check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar. That should give you the "flag" menu at the top right of your screen.
tom,
i understood what you mean "flag" menu now ... i should tell you the current setting in the "flag" menu is american english ... when i start writing chinese using magic pad, it uses the traditional chinese ... it will never start using simplified chinese ... and i do not how to switch to simplified chinese...
in the "flag" menu, it is the different ways to input chinese for both simplified & traditional chinese using the key pad to type-in...
it is not to set between simplified or traditional chinese in using the magic track pad...
it will change the input from magic trackpad to the key pad input if i use the options listed in the "flag" menu...
i do not see any other options listed in "flag" menu for magic track pad...
this is my understanding...
cheers,
After you select the Simplified or Traditional input method, press Control-Shift-Space Bar to activate the Trackpad Handwriting character window. You can also open the input menu in the menu bar and choose Show Trackpad Handwriting. To turn off Trackpad Handwriting, press Control-Shift-Space Bar again.
Does that not work?
tom,
yes, it is working after selecting the simplified input method...
thanks for your help...
cheers,
how to switch between traditional chinese & simplified chinese
