Thanks ! I didn't know I could switch schemas through CTRL+`.Very useful.
I am just trying to learn how to get a better dictionary for Shuangpin and how to install it in RIME because most things only show up in Simplified.

<p>I am on a Windows 10 PC.
I have installed the <a href="https://wiki.michaelhan.net/Hanja_IME" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Zhengma method on RIME</a> and have been using it for the past few months.
But I want to try practicing with Shuangpin (aka Double Pinyin) since its easier on my hands when I type long sentences.</p>

<p>I installed Shuangpin but when I type, for example, JM &gt; Jian (<strong>劍</strong> which means sword), most Simplified characters come up, such as 剑 (instead of <strong>劍</strong>).
I have to scroll endlessly to get to the Traditional Character for 剑.</p>

Do you have thr traditional Chinese fonts installed in your PC? Does the program allow you to choose the type of font to be displayed?

Yes, I can type just fine with the shape-based input IME called Zhengma. I use RIME instead of Windows built-in IME.

Check your virtual keyboard to see whether it can switch between 繁體(注音)或簡體(拼音)input, the vocabulary style will change.

I can switch between the keyboards. I can type but I think this dictionary isn't any good or I just don't know how to switch to Traditional Characters.

How can I install Shuangpin in Rime for Traditional Characters only?
# How can I install Shuangpin in Rime for Traditional Characters only?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-17)

I am on a Windows 10 PC.
I have installed the [Zhengma method on RIME](https://wiki.michaelhan.net/Hanja_IME) and have been using it for the past few months.
But I want to try practicing with Shuangpin (aka Double Pinyin) since its easier on my hands when I type long sentences.

[![Layout of SHUANGPIN](https://i.sstatic.net/bhYrE.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/bhYrE.png)

I installed Shuangpin but when I type, for example, JM > Jian (**劍** which means sword), most Simplified characters come up, such as 剑 (instead of **劍**).
I have to scroll endlessly to get to the Traditional Character for 剑.

How do I go about making the Traditional Characters a priority ?

I'm not familiar with the version on Windows, but for Rime in general, press ctrl + ` (the key left to 1), it allows you to change input schema and settings for the current schema. From there you press 2, leading you to the settings for the current schema. If the current schema allows, you can switch simplified and traditional Chinese there.

Okay, what happened was, RIME was holding old data anytime I made a change to the settings or any external files associated with the RIME.

My problem was that anytime I typed a sentence, RIME would pull up Simplified characters the majority of the time so it became a hassle to go and look for the Traditional Characters.

I am now using RIME WITH TRADITIONAL CHARACTERS with Shuangpin successfully (using the luna\_pinyin dictionary :) ).

For anyone wondering, I removed RIME entirely. Then I went into

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Rime

That's where RIME holds your data EVEN IF you uninstall, so you must remove the whole "RIME" folder from

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\

Since RIME doesn't come with Shuangpin installed, I had to go look for the schema(layout) on github (which is usually named 'double\_pinyin' aka Shuangpin)

I found this one: <https://github.com/kanlac/Rime-MS-shuangpin>

Then I reinstalled. After reinstallation, I went into the settings and at the bottom of the settings box where it says "Control+grave" in the white field, I clicked the bottom underneath that said

獲取更多輸入方案 (Get more input schemes)

In the command prompt, I copied and pasted

kanlac/Rime-MS-shuangpin

and pressed enter and it automatically installed the correct Shuangpin layout for me

Then restart RIME so the new settings take effect

Lastly, all I had to do was go into the settings and deselect all the input methods that I am not gonna use, and only select 微软双拼 (Weiruan Shuangpin), then click 中 twice (once to finish the current window and the next to choose your color scheme)
