I have not done this yet myself, but allow me to forward a couple of=20
messages from the Omnigroup's OSX-talk list about activating Korean and=20=

Chinese input methods. The poster, Tim Chong, definitely seems to know=20=

what he's doing so I might recommend a private message to him if you=20
continue to have difficulties. Note that his "hack" for 10.1 requires =
the=20
pre-10.1 release of OSX for Asia, which is not readily available, though=20=

the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Danish Mac OS X distributions also=20=

contain the Far East languages if you can get a copy of any of those.

Finally, I would recommend a message to Apple's feedback about making=20
these input methods available in the US:

P.S. BTW, for Chinese input, I have only used the Pinyin method as I =
hvae=20
no idea on the others.

OK, and what if you don't have a Far East Mac OS X edition CD at hand ?

Then you can use the hack as I described above, to enable all the IMEs. =
Do=20
note, the 10.1 Far East CD is not ready yet... so far I have able to get=20=

10.0.3 IME working with 10.1 US, although I can see some warning cause =
by=20
/System/Library/Components/PIMUIServer.app <- which I think should be=20
updated in 10.1 version.

--> you can't use chinese/korean input methods !!!
(The fonts are almost all there)
Apple LiGothic Medium.dfont
AppleGothic.dfont
Hei.dfont

You can if u have the CD as I stated... here's some Chinese (Simplified =
&=20
Traditional) & Korean text:

=E7=B9=81=E9=AB=94=E4=B8=AD=E6=96=87 =E7=AE=80=E4=BD=93=E4=B8=AD=E6=96=87 =
=EC=84=9C=EC=9A=B8=ED=8A=B9=EB=B3=84=EC=8B=9C

You should be able to see them all as I used the normal fonts that =
exists=20
in 10.1...=3D)

But, as George pointed out, only the Japanese input method is =
active/works.
..

Japanese has been working since the very first day 10.0 ships...=3D)

Microsoft says they're going to create "fault tolerant" software.
Why bother? They've spent two decades developing fault tolerant =
customers.
