Using google's pinyin IME, or sogou, I have this problem: the little text box stays on the bottom right of my screen. I can drag it where I want it, but once I've inputted some characters into whatever programme I'm using, and then start typing some more, the little text box has gone back down to the bottom right of my screen.

My Chinese is not good enough to understand the options either of these programmes give me: is there an option to make sure the little text box stays where you've dragged it?

In Sogou, hit the little spanner icon, 设置属性, 常规,then makes sure the first option under 其他 is clicked - 光标跟随 :输入法候选窗口随着当前位置移动. Cursor tracking: IME candidate window follows current cursor position.

Of course I can't blame the designers of these things for not including an english version, why would they. But I had to switch from Sogou to Google because I'd pressed something somewhere in the Sogou settings that forced a pink fluffy kitten to pop up on my screen attached to the text box every time I started typing, and there was no way I could get rid of it....

I can haz Chineez IME?

Should be relatively easy to fix - get to 外观 on the settings dialogue, and uncheck 使用皮肤, or hit the 恢复...button at bottom left to reset all options on that page.

I was just thinking an English version of the settings would be handy.

Ah , 恢复... = the reset button ... that would've been useful to know. Anyway, I'm on Google pinyin now. Although, do you know if Sogou is markedly better than Google? I've only just started using the Google one.

Oh, and what odds Imron telling us that pinyin is not the only character input method....?

Spanner icon > 设置属性 》 外观设置 》候选窗户跟随光标 (top right)

Or, and this is quite handy, type 光标 or similar into the search box at the top left and it finds and highlights it for you. Microsoft really needs to buy these people.
