Guys,
I'm a passionate novice learner of Thai language - I am taking courses of Thai, and just about to start doing written online excersises on grammar, when I got stuck with the input method, so really wanted to maybe ask you guys-experts, if you could help me a bit with getting Thai writing up...
What exactly is required to correctly enter Thai characters? How does the Thai character entry works,
i.e. do I need a driver or enter on-screen?
My teacher suggested I buy Thai keyboard stickers from http://www.latkey.com or get some sort of Thai keyboard, but certainly this won't be enough to start typing without proper phonetic driver or something? I'm completely puzzled at this moment
Are there any special IME or entry methods I need to look at?
You might have to install the script on your operating system first. If you're running Windows XP go Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/Languages/Details. If Thai does not display in the window of Installed Services click Add. Select Thai from the drop down menu and OK. If you don't find it in the menu you gotta install it from the Windows XP CD (the one with the operating system). Put the CD into the drive and go Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/Languages. Check Install files for complex script...(including Thai) and OK. After that do as above. In the lower right corner of the screen you can switch between input languages (EN/TH) now.
If you don't have a keyboard with thai letters or with stickers on, you can select an on-screen-keyboard to click the letters with the mouse. To open On-Screen Keyboard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Accessibility, and then click On-Screen Keyboard. You must have set the language to thai (TH on the language button in the lower right corner of your screen) first.
