How do I input Korean language in Internet Explorer?

[risingdragonx]

The Korean language works fine with firefox.
But when I want to type Korean on Internet explorer, it just shows question marks. (look at the picture)

How do I fix this?
I really need to use a website with IE and type Korean, ASAP!

Thanks,

Me

Two things:
1) The IE in the image is a IE6, which is ancient and even microsoft wants it to die. Next week there will be the beta of IE9.
2) This is a linux forum, chances of answers to ms specific questions are slim

Thats why I am here, because I have Linux system.

If I had xp or something there would be no problem,
but because it is Linux, there is a problem with typing Korean in IE.

hmmmm, any ideas? ^^;

Sure, switch to a working browser.

And if the website you are trying to reach is IE6 only, then the website is broken.
Period.

Thanks so far Irithori =)

I'm in Korea, and in Korea Microsoft is the monopoly, so almost all companies require IE when banking or purchasing, etc.

So, I need to find a way to type Korean in IE, since all other browsers are not fully functional. I can see Korean language, but when I type, it just shows '????' as you can see in my picture.

I am using IE6 from the Linux 'lazyeeepc' package.
Can I change the IE?

How do I get the Korean language working?

Opera has a feature to present itself as IE, methinks there is a Firefox plugin for that, too.

[coopstah13]

you can try using ies4linux, just google it, maybe you will have better luck with that

maybe you need to switch to a bank that supports other browsers

BTW, there is something that calls itself IE and comes with Wine. Have you tried that?

[Rubberman]

Yes. The question is how are you running IE in Linux? If it is the one that comes with Wine, then you may be SOL. Options include running Windows with real IE in a virtual machine (I've had to do that) that is set up to deal with Hangul input methods, though you probably need a Korean version of XP or Win7 to do that. It's been a long time since I had to deal with that sort of stuff. Another one is to enable the Firefox IE mode, so sites that it is connected to think it is IE and not Firefox. That also works a lot of the time. Here is a link to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7944/

In any case, if that add-on doesn't do the user-agent spoofing thing to make FF look to the site like IE (it may just be an IE theme), then this one will do that for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59/

another problem is if the site is using activex controls (ew) then spoofing user agent in firefox will be useless anyway
