Chinese is part of the 'Language Kits' package that is included on all OS 9 Install CDs.
You should update to OS 9.1 (or 9.2, if possible). There are improvements in both Unicode support and the language kits.
To find out if your Macintosh is compatible with OS 9, see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1835
From the OS 9.1 ReadMe: 'If you use language kits, you must upgrade both your system software and your language kits at the same time using the Mac OS 9.1 CD. Previous versions of Apple's language kits are not compatible with Mac OS 9.1.'
Reinsert the CD after you have installed the system and [1] double-click on the main 'Mac OS Install' icon and then click 'Continue'; [2] after you select your destination disk, click 'Add/Remove'; [3] in the Installer dialog box, under 'Software Components' check 'Language Kits'; [4] under 'Installation Modes' select 'Customized Installation'; [5] check 'Software for Chinese using (simplified and/or traditional) characters'; [6] click 'Okay'; [7] click 'Start'.
There is a Traditional Chinese Language Kit update available for OS 9.1 in the WayBack Machine. It will also appear in the Software Update control panel.
From the OS 9.2 ReadMe: 'If you use language kits, you must upgrade both your system software and your language kits at the same time using the Mac OS 9.2 CD. Versions of Apple's language kits prior to Mac OS 9.1 (Language Kits 1.1) are not compatible with Mac OS 9.2.'
For most users, the procedure is the same as for OS 9.1 (above). On later OS 9.2.2 CDs, the language kits can only be installed using an installer located in the CD Extras: Language Kits folder. On newer Apple machines with SuperDrives, there is one Install DVD for both OS X and OS 9, which places the installer for the language kits in the /Applications (Mac OS 9)/Apple Extras/Language Kits folder.
Use the Text control panel to control Chinese sort order in the Finder. There are two orders for Simplified Chinese: [1] sort by GB code and [2] sort by number of strokes. There are three orders for Traditional Chinese: [1] sort by Big Five code, [2] sort by radical, then number of strokes, and [3] sort by number of strokes, then radical.
Drag the contents of the CD Extras: Unicode folder onto your closed System folder and restart. The 'About Unicode' document in the same folder is helpful, so you should also drag it to your hard drive.
To install WorldText (Apple's Unicode-savvy text editor for OS 9), go to the CD Extras: WorldText folder and drag the application to your hard drive. To install the WorldText help files, double-click on the installer icon in the same folder.
Use the Appearance control panel to select a Chinese font for displaying file and folder names in the Finder.
The Language Kits package installs a total of nine fonts in OS 9. The system fonts are Taipei (Traditional Chinese) and Beijing (Simplified Chinese). Three additional Traditional Chinese fonts are installed: LiSung Light, LiGothic Medium, and BiauKai. Four additional Simplified Chinese fonts are installed: Song, Hei, Kai, and Fang Song.
NiceTaipei was designed as a replacement for the Taipei font. It is easier to read in Chinese, and for Roman text it is the same as Geneva. . You can download it in the WayBack Machine: http://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/Mac/Chinese/classic/font/ [NewNiceTaipei98.sit.hqx and NewNiceTaipeiMono98.sit.hqx]
A selection of Traditional Chinese fonts in the Macintosh TrueType format are available for free download at: ftp://ftp.cuhk.hk/pub/chinese/ifcss/software/fonts/big5/mac/ [The fonts have names that begin with 'NTU']
TrueKeys is the only utility that handles double-byte font conversion between the Windows and Macintosh TrueType formats. Can also be used to add Unicode support to older fonts that don't have it. We recommend using version 3.5 in OS 9/Classic. See the WayBack Machine: http://www.unidocsys.com/products/TrueKeys/
The Keyboard menu appears at the right end of the Menu bar.
Keyboards and input methods are arranged by script. Roman keyboards are at the top. In the example above, there are two icons in the Traditional Chinese script section. The first is Hanin 5, the second is Apple's Traditional Chinese input method. The next section contains Apple's Simplified Chinese input method. The last section is for Unicode keyboards.
Use the Keyboard control panel (accessible via Customize Menu...) to control which Roman and Unicode keyboards appear in the menu. Input methods appear or disappear (after a restart) when their components are added to or removed from the System: Extensions folder. To activate a keyboard or input method, choose it from the menu. Its icon will appear in the Menu bar and it will have a check mark beside it in the menu. Use the command-space keyboard shortcut to cycle through the menu.
The Language Kits package installs two Chinese input methods in OS 9, both of which include a variety of input modes:
The Input window is the first step in entering Chinese characters and words. As you type the input keys for a character, they appear in the window with a line under them to indicate they are in the active input area:
The Input window can be resized and moved. You can change the font that appears as you type the input key sequences, using Preferences... or the pop-up menu at the right end of the window. Also in Preferences... is the Keep Input Window Open [Shuru chuang chang zai] option, which keeps the Input window open after you enter a character. If not, it closes each time. It has no effect when the application you are using has inline input turned on.
Inline input eliminates the Input window and causes the input area to appear in place in the text of your document. As you type the input keys for a character, they appear in the text with a line under them to indicate the active input area. When needed, the Selection window appears immediately below the inline space.
Not all applications support inline input. Some applications allow the user to turn it on or off.
If there is more than one possible match for the input keys that have been entered, then the Selection window is used to find, select, and enter the correct character. Characters are arranged in rows. Use the up or down arrow keys to move between rows and the right arrow (or space bar) or left arrow (or shift-space bar) keys to move within a row, or use the mouse.
There are three ways to enter characters:
The window can be resized to show more than one row. You can adjust the font and font size in the Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese Preferences.
The Chinese input methods allow you to directly enter Roman characters as either single-byte (a.k.a. 'half-width') or double-byte (a.k.a. 'full-width') characters:
Hanin 5 is a phonetic input method that comes bundled with the Traditional Chinese Mac OS. It uses a combination of dictionary data with character frequency data to perform a rolling conversion of the input string as you type. It features an extensive set of specialized dictionaries which can be turned on and off, giving you more control over the choices it presents. To download it and learn how to use it, see the Hanin 5 Tutorial.
Cihui WS (WorldScript) is a Pinyin input method application that allows you to type in whole words or phrases before selecting them from a palette. Cihui WS is composed of four basic components: the Cihui input method application, the Cihui extensions, the dictionaries, and the Cihui Dictionary Utility application. The Cihui extensions must be placed in your System/Extensions folder. You can install either Traditional or Simplified Chinese, or both. The 'dummy' extensions enable you to quit Cihui, in two steps. You absolutely MUST switch to the dummy before you quit Cihui. You can also switch to another input method instead, but the dummy extensions are a useful reminder. If you don't switch before you quit Cihui, your system will soon crash.
Cihui WS was last updated in 1995 for System 7.5, but it still works in OS 8 and OS 9. You can download it here: Cihui_WS.sit [1.0 MB download]

Troubleshooting:
Released in October 1996, the Advanced Chinese Input Suite (ACIS) works in OS 9. Comprised of three input methods: Chinese Handwriting Kit 1.0, Chinese Dictation Kit 1.5, Cantonese Dictation Kit 1.0. The dictation kits only work on Macs that support 22 khz audio input. For more information, use the WayBack Machine: http://www.asia.apple.com/datasheets/as/acis.html
Note: USB-equipped Macs do not support 22 khz audio input.
The Language Kits package installs three Chinese tools in OS 9:
Installed with the Language Kits package. Converts plain-text documents between Chinese encodings. Includes a built-in text editor that allows you to edit the documents to be converted, and create new documents.
Installed with the Language Kits package. Converts plain text (.txt) source files into Chinese plug-in input method plug-in data (.dat) files. Simply drag the source file onto the Input Method Plug-in Converter icon or an alias, or use File > Open..., and follow the on-screen instructions. To install an input method plug-in, place the .dat file in a folder named 'Input Method Plug-in' in your System/Extensions folder and restart your computer.
Installed with the Language Kits package. See the introduction to TrueType Font Editor 1.0. This works in conjunction with the 'Show User Defined Characters' command in the Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese Pencil menus.
Comes with OS 8 and OS 9. Language Register forces localized Chinese programs to display menus, dialog boxes, help, etc., in double-byte Chinese rather than single-byte gibberish. Choose the language (script) you want from the pop-up menu, then click 'Register.' Find the name of the program you want to register, select it, and click 'Register.' Then click 'OK.' If you change the name of a program's icon, you will have to language-register it again.
Chinese text-to-speech is available free online from Apple Taiwan, at: http://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/Mac/Apple_Taiwan/system/speech/
If you have the CLK or OS 9, you can download this and have your computer talk to you in Mandarin. The download comes with a good set of instructions, in English and Chinese. Chinese text-to-speech is used just like English text-to-speech, though the CLK must be installed for it to work. There are two voices: one for Traditional Chinese, ShiauJau TC, and another for Simplified Chinese, XiaoZhao SC. Using a speech-aware application (such as SimpleText), you select the appropriate voice for the flavor of Chinese you're using and then have it speak either the whole document or selected text. Both voices sound identical to each other: they just operate in the different scripts. The voice is a little flat and somewhat unclear but it is a little easier to understand when slowed down a notch in the Speech control panel.
If you have a document with mixed scripts (say English and Traditional Chinese, or Traditional and Simplified Chinese), you have to switch back and forth between the voices. If you use a voice to speak a selection of text in the wrong script, you'll have your Mac speaking gibberish!
For OS 8.1 to 9.2. TomeViewer allows you to view Installer tomes (like those for the Chinese Language Kits, Chinese-language system updates, and so on). See How to use TomeViewer for more information. Note that you can use the Language Register to enable TomeViewer to view Chinese file names. Available at Macintosh Repository.
ResEdit is a powerful resource editor from Apple. Available at Macintosh Repository.
Free. Acrobat Reader 5.05 handles Chinese text well. If the author of a PDF file embeds Chinese fonts in the document, Reader will be able to display and print the document on any system. If the author uses Chinese fonts but does not embed them in the document, then you will need to take two steps in order to view and print the file:
WorldScript-savvy, OS 8.1 to 10.4. AppleWorks can be used for word processing, graphics, databases, and spreadsheets. It handles Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text well, although inline input is not supported.
Troubleshooting:
Note:iWork '08 can open most AppleWorks 6 documents. ClarisWorks 4 and AppleWorks 5 documents must be converted to AppleWorks 6 beforehand.
WorldScript-savvy, OS 8.1 to 9.2. You must use the Language Register to enable Word 2001 to edit Chinese text. Afterwards, it will handle Chinese text correctly, no matter which East Asian language you choose. East Asian features enabled in the Format menu include phonetic guides (ruby/furigana text), combined characters, enclosed characters. Support for changes in text direction (i.e., vertical text) is available in both the Format menu and the Formatting Palette. Chinese can be used for numbered lists, page numbers, footnote/endnote numbers, and so on.
Entourage 2001 and PowerPoint 2001 are able to handle Chinese text without being language-registered. Excel 2001 does not display Chinese text properly.
Troubleshooting:
Note: Word 2001 can read files created by any version of Word for Windows, including the localized Chinese versions of Windows 95 and above. Word 2000 and above for Windows can read documents created on Word 2001. You must name the file according to Windows file-naming rules and use the .doc extension in the filename. Chinese text is not a problem.
WorldScript-savvy, version 3.5.1 is still available for OS 9.
WorldScript-savvy, version 5.2.2 is still available for OS 9.
Nisus Writer 6.5 is WorldScript-savvy, for OS 8.5 to 9.2. Works well with Chinese, although its advanced East Asian text-handling and search features are limited to Japanese and Korean. Note that if you select some text and then hold down shift as you change the font, Nisus Writer will change the script along with the font. This is useful when you have garbage text that needs to be forced into a Chinese script.
All of the following are WorldScript-savvy:
As of January 2008, iCab is the only currently-maintained (and thus the most secure) browser available for OS 9.
Mozilla 1.2.1 (released December 2002) is Unicode-savvy and includes a browser, email client, and text editor. You can use Mozilla to replace Netscape in OS 9.
For FTP file transfers, use Fetch 4.0.3. In Preferences: Misc, the 'Translate ISO characters' option affects files containing Chinese and other double-byte text. You should disable this if you are moving files that contain Chinese text (unless they are mapped by their extensions to specific applications). You can also simply tell Fetch to upload the file as binary, rather than text.

Tutorial: How to Install Mac OS on Windows PC using Virtual Machine.
There were a large number of new features and additions introduced in macOS Mojave that made it successful. In particular, Dark Mode, Stacks and the improved App Store received fine praise. Additions to the Finder and Screenshot features helped improve their ability to serve the needs of the users greatly. The focus on strong security for the user’s information was also viewed favourably.
At the same time, the macOS received criticism for its beta performance issues. Not all the features implemented on the system were completely developed either. Despite these shortcomings, macOS Mojave was seen as a powerful step forward for Apple towards its future products.
Here are some of the features that were introduced in Mojave and some of the pre-existing ones that have been reworked:
There are certain conditions that have to be satisfied before proceeding with the download. Using a verified link online, the user should download VirtualBox or VMWare. After this is done, the user should proceed to the Terminal and type in the required commands that come under each of the specified steps below:
The user’s Mac must have a minimum of 2 GB of RAM and 12.5 GB of available storage space in case they are upgrading to macOS Mojave from any one of its predecessors from OS X El Capitan and onwards. It will require 18.5 GB of available storage space if the upgrade is for an OS that is or precedes OS X Yosemite.
Please follow these steps below in order to download macOS Mojave 10.14.1:
The user should check if their Mac model is compatible with the macOS that they are about to download and install. These are the models that are supported:
The user should backup all of the important files that they may be afraid of losing. Time Machine is an excellent inbuilt feature that can help the users take care of this. The user should connect their system with an external storage device and then let Time Machine backup their files to this location. If the user’s original files are ever deleted or gone, they can use their backup files. DropBox, iCloud and OneDrive are also great alternatives to Time Machine.
A lot of time is required to download and install macOS Mojave and the user should be thoroughly prepared for this. They should ensure that their Mac is connected to a strong Internet connection so that there are no interruptions in the download or installation of the macOS.
The user can now download the macOS from their App Store.
The user will be prompted to begin the installation process once the download has been completed. The instructions displayed by the installer should be carefully followed and completed accordingly by the user. It is recommended that the user perform the installation in the evening so that the process can get completed overnight. They should ensure that their Mac’s lid is not closed and they should not enable the Sleep option either.
The user should patiently wait for the installation process to get completed( this process may take a very long time). Once it is done, the Mac will be restarted. After this, the user will be able to enjoy using and experiencing macOS Mojave 10.14.1 themselves.
If you have not tried out the macOS Mojave 10.14.1, we strongly suggest that you give it a try. Apple has done an incredible job of trying to improve upon the previous macOS High Sierra version. There has been a massive influx of new features in this version that we are sure you would love to try out.
Please peruse this article thoroughly before you update your Mac’s current OS to macOS Mojave 10.14 so that you will not miss out on any important information that you may require. We are so happy that we got the opportunity to be able to help you through this article. Please do reach out to us in the comments section below if you have any queries and we will help resolve them for you.
