thai keyboard

[pondlife]

My girlfriend has just come home with a computer key board with English and T hai script, it works fine in English, can anyone tell me how to set up my laptop so she can send E-mails home in Thai.

 

Many thanks, Pond

This may not be entirely accurate as I did this on my PC running WinXP SP2 but I guess it may be similar with other versions -

 

Go to Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Options"

 

On the the "Lanuages" tab there should be an option to "Install files for complex script and right to left languages [including Thai]" Select this option.

 

Also in the "Text services and input languages" area click on the details button and in the dialog box under "installed services" click on the "add" button and select "Thai" from the "Input Language" list (there seems to be more than one Thai option - I've no idea what they mean!)

 

You might also need to install Thai fonts - you can get some from here:-

Hope this helps
