Simplified is what I prefer to WRITE with (so much easier crying ), but I prefer to SEE Traditional. xd
But ever since I got this new computer (XP) I can't write Japanese/Chinese because I don't have the disk.

I haven't started studying Chinese yet, but I love to listen to A Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin in Mandarin. If it's not too much trouble can someone change these kanji lyrics to pinyin for me?
阿拉丁
我可以為妳呈現 一個閃耀亮輝煌的世界
告訴我 公主 妳上一次有決心是在何時？
我可讓妳張開雙眼 帶妳看盡一路旁的奇景
藉著一趟魔毯之旅 一個嶄新的世界
一個新奇的觀點 沒有人拒絕我們
或左右我們的方向 或說我們只是在做夢
公主
一個嶄新的世界 一個眩目燦爛陌生的地方
但從這裡開始 我很清楚
我和妳身處在一個嶄新的世界
不可置信的景相 無法形容的感覺
盡情翻轉、自由遨翔 穿越那無垠的閃閃星空
一個嶄新的世界
阿拉丁
讓你不敢閉上眼睛
公主
成百成千的事物等你欣賞
阿拉丁
摒住呼吸，漸入佳境
二反閘
我就像一顆來自遠方的流星
回不去原來的故鄉
阿拉丁
一個全新的世界
公主
每個轉角都是個驚喜
阿拉丁
新的地平線等你去捕捉
二反閘
我會追逐它們至天涯海角 時間用之不竭
讓我和你分享這嶄新的世界
阿拉丁
一個嶄新的世界
公主
那是我們將到達的地方
阿拉丁
一場令人顫動的追尋
公主
一個神奇的地方
二反閘
為妳我而存

I'd help you out, but I don't recognize most of those characters, and to further complicate things, they're traditional, which are harder for me to read. sweatdrop If you're feeling up to the task, you could always go to wiktionary and copy and paste each character and write down all the pronunciations (under "Mandarin" for each character).

Technically, Chinese is my native language...but I know almost none, because I was adopted at 7 months...I wish I knew more though. But a random fact about me relating to hearing Chinese when I was young, was that I developed perfect pitch, where I can tell you what a note is, or play one on command, that kinda stuff. It's cool, that's one plus to have heard Chinese when i was young, and being exposed to music early. Also, people say that music is a lot like languages, and languages come pretty easy to me. But enough blabbing, I'll just shut up now...

I couldn't agree more about the music and languages being very similar thing. I'm a multi-instrumentalist myself, and I speak several languages, and for me, learning a new language is just like learning how to play a new instrument. And if you already speak a language similar to the one you're trying to learn (say, for example, you speak Spanish and you want to learn French), it's considerably easier than starting from scratch, which is exactly like learning how to play an instrument that is similar to one that you can already play (ex. it was a easier for me to learn to play the bassoon because I'd just switched from bari sax).
I also happen to have perfect pitch, and it's made recognizing and producing the tones of Chinese that much easier. biggrin

I'm good at getting pitch and everything as well because I've always loved to listen to music and get every part right.

How do you get the language bar to type in Chinese? I've got it on ther, but I can't figure out how to change it.

Click the little square that says "EN" (English) and change it to "CH" (Chinese), or if the square isn't there for some reason or if you're just too lazy to move your hand over to the mouse, you can just do CTRL+SHIFT until you're in Chinese mode.
And then once you're in Chinese mode, you can switch back and forth between typing in "English" (i.e. Latin alphabet) and characters by hitting left Shift.
So basically once you have the Chinese bar set to Chinese and you're in Chinese input mode, you can type the pinyin with tones at the end (ex. zhong1wen2) and choose which characters you want from the list if it doesn't correctly guess the ones you wanted.

Ahh, sorry, not trying to be rude, but I hate it when people refer to Chinese characters as "kanji" when they're not using it in a Japanese context. You're literally using the Japanese word for "Chinese character". DD: In Chinese it's "hanzi", thank you very much. biggrin

為wei妳ni我wo而er存cun It's been a while since I have last written something in Chinese, but it seems like I still remember how to read a lot of words. I have to add that I learned the simplified Chinese, so I couldn't recognize some of the traditional ones or I have simply forgotten some of the words in the text. If you want the pitches on the pinyin, I can add them. Some words that are often repeated, but are not necessarily sung:阿a拉la丁ding -------> Aladdin 公gong主zhu ------> Princess 二er反fan閘chan probably means chorus, but I'm not sure 妳ni -------> feminine form of "you", in simplified chinese there is no difference between the masculine and feminine form 你ni -------> masculine form of "you" 我wo -----> I, me (一yi個ge)嶄zhan新xin的de世shi界jie/全quan新xin的de世shi界jie -------> (a)whole new world
