Sogou 4.1 Installation Help

[weksa]

Hello,

I'm new to Chinese and trying to install Sogou 4.1. After installing, it looks like I have to go through 6 steps of preference settings or something. I have no idea what any of it says -- well, I can understand the back and next buttons haha.

Mainly, I want to type traditional, using hanyu pinyin. It's for a beginning Chinese class.

Thanks.

I don't recall what the steps are about but if they just let you choose your preferences you can always do it later.

After your have it installed, press Ctrl+Shift+F to switch between simplified/traditional script. Or press the spanner icon of the language bar and choose 简繁切换.

Ah cool, got it working, thanks.

Also, now and then there are popup notifications in the taskbar. Is there a way for me to disable those (since I can't read them anyways)?

Ah here, this is what I mean by popup notifications. I was able to get a screencap of one of the popups:

Some of the popups are lengthier.
