Global IME is designed to help individuals and businesses who want to communicate in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean without having to run a separate Chinese, Japanese, or Korean version of Windows. With Global IME, a business based in New York could use its U.S. version of the browser to send messages in Korean to an overseas affiliate. And a student attending classes in Paris could write home in Japanese. After you install Global IME for any language, Windows displays the Global IME icon on the task bar whenever Word 2000 or Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater is active, or whenever the user clicks in the body of a message in Outlook 98 or Outlook Express 4.0 or greater. To write in East Asian characters, the user just has to click the Global IME icon, select the desired East Asian language, and start typing.
Users can type different languages on the same page.
Global IME also comes with multi-lingual Help.
