Hi, I would like to be able write chinese characters on the computer (pc). I gather there is software where you type the chinese word in pinyin and then choose from a list of characters.

Can anyone tell me which program I can use for this? Freeware if possible?

I have been cutting and pasting character from chinesepod and various wordlist/dictionary programs I have but it's a bit tedious!

Hey I worked it out myself, you can do it with windows language settings! takes a bit of getting used to but seems to work.

you can search the software in www.baidu.com or in www.g.cn for "搜狗拼音输入法"
