Simplified Chinese OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

For Simplified Chinese, Windows Embedded CE contains locale-specific support for fonts, Input Method Editors (IME), and input methods (IM).

The following table shows the IMEs that Windows Embedded CE supports for Simplified Chinese.

IME Description

Simplified Chinese MSPY 3.0 IME

An intelligent, bigram-based IME. It offers Pinyin input as well as Shuang Pin input. Platform Builder offers a choice between three distinct lexical databases. No soft keyboards are provided with this IME.

Simplified Chinese Pocket IME

A compact IME that provides a sample customizable UI model. Users can chose between Shuang Pin input and Pinyin input. A soft keyboard is provided for Shuang Pin input only.

In addition to two IMEs, Windows Embedded CE also supports the U.S. keyboard for run-time images that are built for the Simplified Chinese locale.

Windows Embedded CE Builder also provides the following IM for Simplified Chinese.

IM Description

Shuang Pin

An IM with a soft keyboard that allows Shuang Pin input and is closely tied to the Shuang Pin Pocket IME.

For more information about this input method, see Simplified Chinese Input Method.

OS Design Information

The following table shows operating system design information for Chinese (Simplified).

Concept Description

Dependencies

The Shuang Pin soft keyboard IM requires the Software-based Input Panel Driver Catalog item.

Hardware considerations

The Shuang Pin soft keyboard IM requires a touch screen.
