Saving the 17-inch Macbook Pro (Part 4) - Using Japan IME w/Monterey and OpenCore Legacy Patcher

For some reason, if you install MacOS 12 (Monterey) on a 17-in MacBook Pro 2011 Model using OpenCore Legacy Patcher and install the AMD GPU Patch, you will lose the ability to use the Japanese Hiragana IME.

For most people that type Japanese, we use the hiragana input method, so this poses a problem.

The solution .. install the Google Japanese IME.

Google 日本語入力 – Google 思いどおりの日本語入力。Google 日本語入力は、変換の煩わしさを感じさせない思いどおりの日本語入力を提供します。

Once this is installed, you will have the HIragana IME restored.
