Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in your
local system to send non-English characters to a remote hosted application.
You can also use hot keys and icons in the notication area (system tray) of your local system to switch to a
dierent IME. No IME is required to be installed in the remote RDS host.
When this feature is turned on, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and congured on the RDS host
where the remote application is installed, that remote IME is ignored.
By default the feature is turned o. Whenever you change the seing to turn the feature on or o, you must
disconnect from the server and log in again before the change can take eect.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Make sure that the input language on your local client system matches the language used in your IME.
The input language on the RDS host is not applicable.
n
Verify that the remote desktop has View Agent 6.0.2, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, installed.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selector window of Horizon Client, right-click a remote application and
select .
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select Extend the local IME to hosted applications
check box and click OK.
3 Restart the session by using one of the following options:
Option Description
Log off of the server
Disconnect from the server and then log in to the server again and connect
to the application again. You can resume your applications, which were
disconnected but not closed, as were any remote desktops.
Reset the applications
Right-click a remote application icon, select , and click Reset.
Using this option, if you have any remote desktops open, they are not
disconnected. All the remote applications are closed, however, and you
must start them again.
The seing takes eect only after you restart the session. The seing applies to all remote hosted
applications on the server.
4 Use the local IME as you would with any locally installed applications.
The language designation and an icon for the IME appear in the notication area (system tray) of your local
client system. You can use hot keys to switch to a dierent language or IME. Key combinations that perform
certain actions, such as CTRL+X for cuing text and Alt+Right Arrow for moving to a dierent tab, will still
work correctly.
N On Windows 7 and 8.x systems, you can specify hot keys for IMEs by using the Text Services and
Input Languages dialog box (available by going to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and
Languages tab > Change Keyboards  > Text Services and Input Languages > Advanced Key
 tab).
