Chinese Tools with Something for Everyone
Many people have requested versions of the tools on this website that
can be run locally.
DimSum is the answer to these requests.
currently integrating most of the tools on the website into one
package: DimSum.
Right now it supports adding pinyin to text files,
Rich Text Format files, and web pages.
Please be aware that program is currently only at version 0.7.9.1 and
there's still a lot of improvement to be done.
The program may run
slowly and some characters may appear as boxes.
If you have suggestions (or
critiques) please visit the DimSum
discussion board.
I have created a Mac install package for DimSum.
Download the
disk image file and copy the
DimSum app to your Applications folder.
This version should solve
problems people have been having running DimSum on Snow Leopard.
Installation
If you haven't already installed Java on your system, you can get it
from the .
If given a choice, be sure to get the JRE version for all/multiple languages.
Important Note:
Recent versions of the JRE installer require an additional step to get Chinese support.
During installation select Custom installation and make sure "Support for Additional Languages" will be installed to the hard drive.
A quick solution for an existing installation would be to go to "Control Panel", then "Add or Remove Programs", select J2SE Runtime Environment 1.5, then click "Change".
Then select "Modify" and then make sure "Support for Additional Languages" will be installed to the hard drive.
for your computer if you haven't already done so.
Automatic Install (Windows Only)
Download and run the DimSum
setup program.
It will create a entry for DimSum under
"ChineseTools" on your Start menu.
If another program such as WinRAR or similar compression software comes up when you try to start DimSum, run the
program from
and then try running DimSum again.
Manual Install
To install the program yourself, download
On Windows, the easiest thing to do is save it to your
Once the download finishes, there should be a new icon on
your desktop called DimSum.
You can double click on the icon to start
the program.
Note that some browsers will save the DimSum.jar file as DimSum.zip.
If this happens to you, just rename it back to DimSum.jar.
DimSum now runs on MacOS X.
To install the program yourself, download
this DimSum disk image to your desktop.
Double click on
it to open the new disk image which includes the DimSum application.
Drag the DimSum application over to your Applications directory and
delete the disk image.
You can now double click on the DimSum icon to
start the program.
You can also download the plain
DimSum jar
file and save it to your desktop.
Then double-click it to start
I now have a Mac mini, so each new DimSum release should have a Mac version.
I have successfully run DimSum on a Linux machine with Java 1.4
installed.
To install and use DimSum, download the
DimSum JAR
To use DimSum you will also need to have some Chinese TrueType
fonts installed.
To get Chinese fonts working, you can also copy
a Chinese Unicode True Type font to the lib/fonts subdirectory where
Java is installed.
The simplest way to run DimSum on Linux is go to a
command prompt, cd to the directory with the JAR file, make sure java
is in your path, and type "java -jar DimSum.jar".
