QQ To Talk With China Mei Mei

[fanren07]

Hi,

Would like to share with bros who uses IM client like MSN, Yahoo, QQ, etc. that there is a multi-protocol IM client call Pidgin that can work with MSN, Yahoo, QQ and more.

You don't need to download and install separate IM clients. Useful for bros who wants to communicate with their mei mei in China :D as you don't need to download and install QQ IM client.

This software is free and you can download it from Windows | Download | Pidgin (http://www.pidgin.im/download/windows/).

There is another software similiar to Pidgin call Miranda. Unlike Pidgin, you need a plugin in order to work with QQ. You can download it from Miranda IM - Download (http://www.miranda-im.org/download/). QQ plugin can be downloaded from Addons - Miranda IM (http://addons.miranda-im.org/index.php?action=display&id=17). Look for MirandaQQ2 0.2.0.52.

For bros who have difficulty or no time to download, I have a CD (with Pidgin, Open Office, games and other softwares) available. Unlike the free download above, there is a small fee charge for the CD

PM or email me at [email protected]. Preference would be email as PM is slow and there is a limit to the number of PMs.

[SmellyDog]

Does this really work ... any bros here have tested ...

[fanren07]

Promoting the software or promoting your sale? :rolleyes:

Both :D The CD is not a must have afterall there are links for them to download the free programs.

Bros who chats using different IM clients with gf would find these useful.

hmm i downloaded already leh bro but ah where to have the girls emails to talk to. this is just like msn you have to go somewhere somehow know some girls before it is of any use?

[Aurors]

So I dont have to config my PC to chinese and I will be able to key in Chinese texts in the IM ..

[dirtyol'man]

Is there a mic talk or a video call function

[fanren07]

Thanks for sharing....:)

Yes, you are right. This is a chat program to sian mm. No QQ, MSN or Yahoo games.

hmm i downloaded already leh bro but ah where to have the girls emails to talk to. this is just like msn you have to go somewhere somehow know some girls before it is of any use?

Juz like MSN, Yahoo and other IM, you need to have girls before chat. Like buying electronic items, batteries not included :p

So I dont have to config my PC to chinese and I will be able to key in Chinese texts in the IM ..

Wrong, you still have to config your PC in order to key in Chinese texts.
But good news for bros who are fluent in Vietnamese. You can chat with your Vietnamese gf in Vietnamese (VIQR) without any config. :)

Is there a mic talk or a video call function

No audio or video conference. Juz chat function.

[SamsungBoy]

[solucky0621]

I got QQ but can't type/read chinese... all the funny funny characters.

if you are using Vista, go to control panel and change the format to Chinese(PRC) undr Regional and Language Options. you should be able to view and type chinese words in QQ:)

[High till Dry]

Hi,

For bros who wants Chinese input, you need to first configure your PC/notebook. Hope the following links helps.

Configure for Chinese Input
Windows XP: Installing East Asian Language Support under Windows XP (http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/asianlanguageinstallation_XP.html)
Windows Vista: Installing East Asian Language Support under Windows Vista (http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/vista.html)

Chinese Input (Usage): Writing Chinese on the Windows Platform (http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/chinese_write.htm)

Bros who knows Hanyu Pinyin would find it a easier to enter Chinese text else you would have to struggle with pinyin for your Chinese characters. But then again mei mei would prove to be strong motivation to learn. :p

[Aurors]

For non computer literate like me, once I did the changes and my dates in my spreadsheet became like chinese ... and some programs the menu all became chinese .. then gave up since looks so funny with certain things in chinese

[solucky0621]

Is it an add on or ??? Or u mean change the entire laptop no chinese ?? I cantdo that, my chinese sux :p

not to worry the change is not permanent and everything is still in english, you can always reverse the steps to revert to english. i suggest you try bro fanren07's method, if it doesn't work then you can try mine.

happy QQ-ing :)

Same here. The last time I installed new media player the whole system gets messed up and I have to spend hours restoring the setting. Since then I try not to install software which I am not too familiar with.

Base on what you mentioned, you might have change the format to Chinese.
What we actually want to change and configure is the keyboard to input Chinese text. So target only changes to the keyboard and NOT format in the Regional and Language Options.

Yes, can be frustrating :( But then again, the rewards are great if you get it right. Somehow messaging in Chinese, be it phone sms or Instant Messaging with China Mei Mei or gf who knows Chinese is different. You get closer and personal. Bros who have done that would know what I mean :D
Another plus point is that your message is unlikely to be read/translated by a third party. I am sure bros here have been asked before by China or Vietnamese Mei Mei to translate English messages for them.

[CkiNAkia]

Haha, I did exactly that changing the regional / language settings so had problems ... now dont bother liao ...

[aces68]

wondering if any bros can help with my query ..

I bought a laptop with English Vista Home Premium OS for my PRC gf.
But her England is zero, so I need to change the OS platform to Chinese.
Can anyone advise the simplest and cheapest way to convert the OS platform to Chinese ?

[fanren07]

Just realize points got deducted. Bro did not leave name but comment that "if you're not sure, stop giving all the wrong instructions".

Only thing I can say to this bro is this, for things that I do not know or not sure I would have told you straight that I do not know or not sure.

Now, not sure what wrong instructions you are referring to that I have given :confused:. But the info on the web links on configuring Chinese input is accurate. Those info are not written by me but have been used by countless users without problem, myself inclusive.

If bro still have problem either with configuring Chinese input or Pidgin, contact me and I am more than willingly to help.

I don't like the hassle of this

I had the same problem as yours then I went to the "Regional and language options" (in control panel), clicked the "Advanced" tab and chosen the "Chinese (PRC)" under "Language for non-Unicode programs". After I have not problem. In fact, I am currently using 2008 version of QQ to chat with my China gal... :D

I used to have the same problem as you then I went to the "Regional Language options" in control panel, clicked the "Advanced" tab and chosen "Chinese(PRC)" under "Language for non-Unicode progams". Then it works for me. Hope it solves your problem too... By the way I am using 2008 version of QQ, I think it's better. Can use webcam, thus can see each other... :D

Should be "Can you ADVISE?".

"Advice" is a noun.

[littleme]

all bros, forget about the add-ons and just stick to the original chat software. It is safer and faster. QQ can easily be downloaded and there is a basic version (tencent qq) good enough for most chat.

Anyway QQ is too commercialised nowadays. Stick to the good old msn, yahoo messenger or skype for pickups.
