How to select Traditional Chinese in the Google Pinyin

I use Google Pinyin to enter all my Chinese . For those who want it go to http://tools.google.com/pinyin/ and click on the “big blue button” to download it.Install it the usual way. And continue when finished.

I use Google Pinyin to enter all my Chinese . The default Google Pinyin is set to be simplified. In order to find stuff from Taiwan, I change Google Pinyin to Traditional Chinese. Here is how I do it:

From the language bar, select “Chinese (PRC)”

From the language bar, click the “EN”, then select “Chinese (PRC)” to change the language.

Select the options menu choice

The google language bar appears.

Right click the blue ball part of the google bar, and select the item shown.

Select the traditional Chinese option

Select the fourth tab.

Check the “Traditional Chinese” option.

Click “Apply” to apply the changes, or “OK” to apply and exit the options page.

All the characters that appear when using the tool should now be Traditional Chinese. The characters in all the menus and options remain in Simplified Chinese.

To toggle between the Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, simply right click on the Character "Zhong" and select change to simplified (in the example below) or change to traditional.
