The values of the data categories can be entered in non-latin characters.

For Windows users: first you need to add the language that you wish to use to the "Languages" in the "Regional and Languages options". To do this (in Windows XP): open the Control Panel and the Regional and Languages Options. On the Languages tab select Text Services and Input Languages and select Details. Under Installed Services click on Add and add the required language. Under Key Setting you can check how to swicth between input languages. If you are using another version of Windows, or if the language you wish to use is not in the drop down list of available languages, you should check on the Windows Internet site on how to add languages to the Input Languages.

Once you have the language available in Windows, in LEXUS you need to select Activate Unicode input in the Menu option under Help in the top menu. The input boxes under the Lexical Entry tab of the Lexical Entry Editor should turn grey. We have not completely covered the switch issue, so sometimes the box stay white and you will not be able to enter non-latin characters. The work around is to change to the other tab, change back to the Lexical Entry tab and click the value bar of the data category. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but we thought it would be good to make the functionality available to you, while we try to repair the switch problem. Please give us feedback on the use of the Unicode input functionality.
