When you connect to the Windows Home Server Console from a home computer that uses a different keyboard language, the Windows Home Server Console automatically displays a Language Bar. This Language Bar lets you select the keyboard language that you want to use in Windows Home Server Console. But if the keyboard language that you use on the home computer requires an IME, you may have to manually select the IME for that language on the Windows Home Server to use that language in the Windows Home Server Console.

To manually select an IME for an input language on the Windows Home Server, follow these steps:

1.	On the home computer, use the Remote Desktop Connection program to remotely connect to the Windows Home Server.
