# Input Method Editors (IME)

An IME can be part of the operating system or a separate app. Windows comes with more than 20 IMEs. For the complete list, see [Keyboard identifiers and input method editors for Windows](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-language-pack-default-values#input-method-editors).

IMEs for the following languages are covered in more detail:

- [Amharic IME](amharic-ime.md)
- [Bengali IME](bengali-ime.md)
- [Gujarati IME](gujarati-ime.md)
- [Hindi IME](hindi-ime.md)
- [Japanese IME](japanese-ime.md)
- [Kannada IME](kannada-ime.md)
- [Korean IME](korean-ime.md)
- [Malayalam IME](malayalam-ime.md)
- [Marathi IME](marathi-ime.md)
- [Odia IME](odia-ime.md)
- [Punjabi IME](punjabi-ime.md)
- [Tamil IME](tamil-ime.md)
- [Telugu IME](telugu-ime.md)
- [Tigrinya IME](tigrinya-ime.md)
- [Simplified Chinese IME](simplified-chinese-ime.md)
- [Traditional Chinese IME](traditional-chinese-ime.md)
- [Vietnamese IME](vietnamese-ime.md)
- [Yi IME](yi-ime.md)

Your app doesn’t need to interact directly with an IME. It works as part of the system regardless, like a software keyboard. You should test the text entry user experience of your app with the IME, so you can fix any UI issues, such as the IME UI obscuring a part of your app or vice versa. Since keystrokes don't correspond directly to characters when an IME is used, features such as autocomplete need to be tested carefully.

1. When using the Vietnamese Number Key-based IME, you can use the number keys at any time while typing the word. The IME will add the diacritical marks at the appropriate location. The typical order of entry is the base letters of the word followed by the number keys for the diacritics. For example, to type vườn, type vuon72. Other options for typing vườn are:

- vu7o27n
- vu7o72n
- vuo72n
- vu7o27n
- vu7o72n
- vuo72n

1. When you're finished typing, press Enter to select the Vietnamese word.
