Japanese IME 3.1 Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement functionality for users to use a standard keyboard to type Japanese characters as input for a Windows Embedded Compact powered device by adding the Japanese IME 3.1 to your OS.
With an input method editor (IME), a user can press a key on the keyboard, view candidates displayed in the user interface (UI) for the character to map to the key press, and select the correct character.
