In [[Microsoft Windows]], '''Input Method Editor''' (IME) is a program or [[operating system]] component that allows computer users to enter complex characters and symbols (such as [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Tibetan language|Tibetan]] and [[Korean language|Korean]] characters), using a standard westWestern keyboard.
After you have installed the IME, you just start your programs, select the language from the language bar, and you can type the language you choose, regardless of the language version of the program you are using. It is especially useful for users who need to input [[East Asia]]n text across the language platforms of the operating system.
