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 notication area (system tray) of your local system to switch to a
dierent 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 congured 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 seing to turn the feature on or o, you must
disconnect from the server and log in again before the change can take eect.
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
