Solve : Windows 7: Korean not working on Facebook, Google even when activated? |
|
Answer» Hi, Had a quick look around and found nothing of much interest but may be you should 'contact' Facebook and ask them. Yeah, I couldn't find anything, either... I might try that since I can't think of anything else, but it's not just Facebook... It's Google, too, and not only that, but there's no language problem for anyone else who uses Facebook.

But could there be any relevance as to whether you are accessing these sites via something (geography wise) that is not their Korean based services? truenorth Hmm, I don't think so? I live in the western part of the United States (not sure if I'm allowed to disclose my location here?), and no other computer or laptop here is having this problem. Quote from: soybean on January 19, 2012, 02:02:18 PM If you display the Language Bar at the top of your desktop, does it look like this?: That's definitely what it looks like when I try to type in Korean. In that setting, I am able to type in Korean on YouTube, Open Office documents, etc. just fine, but still with that setting on, I type in English on Google and Facebook. But thank you for going through the trouble of doing that for me. Thank you for your SUGGESTIONS, everyone. If you think there are other possible reasons for this issue, I'd be grateful to know.Keep in mind that you would probably not be able to log in to facebook if the language bar was set to Korean and you have your password SAVED by your browser. Or, Windows may recognize that the language needs to be set to English for the facebook login and change it to English if it was set to Korean. Then, after logging in, you should be able to switch back to Korean. Are you using the part of the language bar highlighted in red below to switch back and forth between English and Korean while the main language bar is set to Korean? Clicking on that part of the language bar toggles your keyboard input back and forth from one language to the other. Mm, if I understood properly what you were trying to say, I don't think that's the problem. I don't have the auto-sign-in activated on Facebook, and just to check, I tried logging out then back into Facebook, and tried using Korean-- Still didn't work. As for the language bar, I'm pretty sure I'm using it correctly. I toggle both the main English/Korean (first toggle using alt+shift) as well as the second English/Korean toggle you highlighted in red (using just the alt key and changing back and forth from "A" to "가"). To clarify, this is how I type in Korean: My default language is English. Therefore, the first toggle usually says "English" or "En". (And there is no second toggle in this setting.) When I want to type in Korea, I press [left alt+shift] so that the first toggle changes to "Korean" or "Ko". When I do this, the second toggle appears, and it says "A", so I then press [right alt] so that the "가" comes out. The reason I don't simply keep the default language in Korean and use just the [right alt] to switch between languages is that when I type in English using the "Korean A" setting, the font comes out differently. As you can see, I can type in Korean here just fine. 안녕하세요~Based on your last post, I believe your understanding of how it works is quite correct. So, I'm at a loss as to why you can't type Korean in facebook. Anyway, another question or two. Once you log in to facebook and click in a text box, does the language bar remain as it should to type Korean? Or, does that second toggle want to jump from "가" back to "A"? See, that's the strangest part. I set up everything so that I can type in Korean, so my language bar says "Ko, 가". I click on a text box on Facebook, and the setting remains the same (it doesn't toggle back to "En" or "A"), so I should be typing in Korean. But when I type, everything still comes out in English on Facebook and (sometimes and sometimes not) on Google.Still need help with this, please. (Just bumping up the topic.)Frankly, I don't want to spend more time on this because there is not much more I can do to help. Have you tried doing an Internet search on installing language bar in windodws 7 or similar phrase? Quote from: LevityLozenge on January 17, 2012, 08:33:43 PM If I want to type something in Korean on Facebook, I have to go through the process of typing it up on an Open Office document and copy/pasting it into Facebook.At least, you have a workable procedure and it's not too much of an extra burden, is it? By the way, any particular reason you're using Open Office for this? WordPad would work fine. Quote from: LevityLozenge on January 17, 2012, 08:33:43 PM I know that my other friends aren't having a problem typing in Korean on FacebookHave you discussed this with your friends? Could you meet with a friend who has the Korean Language Bar installed and see how it's working on their computer? Perhaps that would shed some light on your problem. I suspect the absence of further member input is because the pool of suggestions has run dry. However did you ever do this "but may be you should 'contact' Facebook and ask them. "? Detail your issue as you have done here and seek their input.truenorthIm beginning to think it is blocked on facebook..."I know that my other friends aren't having a problem typing in Korean on Facebook." One of O/P's earliest POSTS in this thread which is why i went with my kinda off the wall suggestion (which too would be not applicable if those "friends" are also in the U.S).truenorthI understand he stated that...but i havent seen proof...i don't do facebook and not about to start. |
