FAQ: NLM LocatorPlus -- How do I search LocatorPlus using non-Roman characters?


How do I search LocatorPlus using non-Roman characters?
Answer:

To search using non-Roman characters, you need to install the input keyboard layouts for the desired language(s). These keyboard layouts are known as Input Method Editors (IMEs). Help on this subject is not yet available.

More information about IMEs is available from:
