I see Mac OS 10.6 has a new Chinese character input via the trackpad. This looks really cool, but I can't find a detailed description of it, so I'm not sure if I can use it.
Can I use it to enter kanji? I know nothing about Chinese, apart from hearing that kanji uses Chinese characters. But Apple says nothing about kanji or Japanese. Are the characters identical across languages? Is there anything I'll be missing?
Can I use it to enter kana, too?
Can I use it on my Macbook? It's a 2GHz Core2Duo, so it's a couple years old, and probably doesn't have the newest trackpad.
Thanks!
Yeah, mine doesn't have that, and it looks like I'm SOL. Chinese input isn't listed in "Feature-specific requirements" on Apple's page, but they say "write directly on the Multi-Touch trackpad" elsewhere. It's also not even clear to me if a new Macbook would permit this, since they say "Solid-state scrolling trackpad ... two-finger scrolling", and not "Multi-Touch trackpad ... three-finger swipe, four-finger swipe" like the Pro has.
