Should I translate all input using the MT IME? No. Translate only the input where translated data is expected by the application. You can turn on and off the MT IME by clicking on the Disable/Enable button on the IME control panel or by pressing the Ctrl key. Back to top 3. Does it use a dictionary? No. Mock translation does not use real language translation. The result text is generated by the mock translation rules. The original text will be included as part of the result text; some characters in the original text may be replaced with some other characteres, depending on which mock translation rule is applied. Back to top 4. Can I customize the mock translation rules? Yes. You can customize options such as expansion rates, character replacements, and bookend marks using the Settings interface. Back to top 5. Can I configure MT IME to use Asian characters? Yes. You can configure MT IME to use any Unicode characters. Back to top 6. Can I use it to test Windows® or Web application? MT IME works on Java GUI applications only. You can generate the mock translated text using a Java application and then copy and paste the result into the non-Java applications. Back to top 7. Why do I see boxes when I type using the MT IME? MT IME requires that a font containing the characters used in the mock translation be installed and configured for use by the Java Run-time Environment on which you run your application. No font is provided by MT IME. Back to top
