With freeCodeCamp's custom inputs, you can type Pinyin and Chinese characters directly in the tasks.

If you use a Chinese keyboard on your computer, you'll be able to type in the Pinyin and select the Chinese characters from the suggestions. Here is how to set it up.

Setting Up on Windows 11

1. Open Settings from the Start menu.

2. Go to Time & Language, then click Language & region.

3. Go to Preferred languages and choose Add a language.

4. Search for Chinese and pick Chinese (Simplified).

5. Click Next and then follow the steps.

Once the language is installed:

• Find it in your Preferred languages list.

• Click on the ellipsis to show additional options and select Language options.

• Go to Keyboards, click on Add a keyboard and select the Chinese (Simplified) layout.

To switch between keyboards:

• Press Windows key + Spacebar.

• Or click the language icon on your taskbar (often marked as ENG) and pick Chinese.

Setting Up on Mac
