谷歌推出中文输入法编辑器(Google

Launches Chinese Input Method Editor)

google on wednesday made itself more of a local player

by launching its own chinese input method editor (ime) to offer

writers an alternative to writing chinese characters.

within hours of its release some chinese websites began

providing a free download service for the software.

input method editors allow writers to write in chinese

characters using the alphabet keyboard. there are numerous

well-established imes available to writers.

the ime is part of google’s desktop strategy, which

incorporates the google toolbar and desktop search, said an

employee surnamed ma with the beijing office of ogilvy

worldwide, the public relations agent of google china.

it will not bring direct economic benefits to google but

will boost the loyalty of computer users, ma added.

ma said google has considered developing imes for other

languages but declined to give further details.

google chinese ime differs from others in virtue of its

precision and versatility, according to a press release from

google china.

google says its vast database of keywords, accumulated

from its search services, gives its ime greater accuracy in

selecting character combinations.

many imes allow users to create libraries of frequently

used character combinations, such as people’s names.

imes have become so powerful and users so skilled they

can input chinese text as fast as people can write in english.

google chinese ime can be linked to a gmail account,

enabling users to customize a chinese ime and have a personal

dictionary that can follow them even when they log on from other

computers, the press release added.

some chinese who tested the google ime said wednesday

on the internet that the response time of the new google product

is a bit slow, but they were delighted with its precision.
