Apple's Korean Language Kit is an easy, affordable way to add Korean text to your documents. After the simple installation process, you can switch effortlessly between the computer's main language and Korean. The kit lets you enter, edit, and print Korean, and mix Korean with other languages in the same document‹even in the same sentence. You can also use it to view Korean-language World Wide Web sites with the addition of Internet browsing software.

The Korean Language Kit comes with the Power Input Method, a feature-rich input method that allows conversion from hangul to hanja, can display the command menu in English or Korean, and provides an easy-to-use interface. The kit also includes two keyboard layouts for native speakers and two romaja modes for easy Korean input by non-native speakers. Also included is a set of transparent labels for customizing your keyboard.

The kit includes five QuickDraw GX­compatible TrueType fonts that produce high-quality onscreen and printed characters at many sizes. Unlike most other Korean language solutions, the Korean Language Kit offers full hanja support, including the hanja Dictionary Utility that allows a user to create a personal hanja dictionary.

The Korean Language Kit is based on Apple's WorldScript technology, which simplifies the way in which a single operating system can support multiple languages. It works with world-ready applications that take advantage of WorldScript, such as ClarisWorks 4.0, WordPerfect, Nisus Writer, and WorldWrite. It can also be used with Korean localized applications.
