• Firefox cannot display Chinese characters correctly. How to fix?

  I have portable firefox with the add-on Chinese language pack, but whenever I open any website in Chinese, the characters are not correct this so I couldn't recognize them.

  Firefox cannot display CJK characters unless East Asian language support and CJC fonts are installed.
  
  XP this is not the case by default because two support East Asian languages and languages (C.i.) complex script must be installed separately.
  
  If you will not be able to see the Chinese characters, unless you install far East support.
  
  Otherwise, you will need to use another computer.

• How to make windows XP SP3 display Chinese characters correctly in the programs?

  I am running Windows XP SP3 and I need Chinese language to view a program. (in Windows 2000 it displays very well) I installed East Asian language packs and the Chinese buttons now display gibberish. Y at - it installation work best for the language to Chinese? I went in the section advanced and made sure everything I checked options Chinese had it but still the same... I followed the links to "install files for East Asian without CD-ROM.
  http://forums.techarena.in/Windows-XP-support/873146.htm"but that doesn't give me what I have on XP SP3 ORIGINAL CD. Y at - it a fix for this or is the police by default for windows is not compatible with the Chinese language?

  Please help and if you could not mark as 'responded' unless you actually answer my question.

  Just in case where U ignored my above features:
  Windows XP with SP3.
  Already installed the files for East Asian CD and download.
  At the default font on the desktop.

  Ok... I thought about it, you must set your "format" in the regional settings in the option "Chinese (simplified, PRC) ' for the installed language pack to work for Chinese characters. My programs now display the correct characters. I imagine that by selecting the right 'Format' to use will help out with all the other languages also.

  FYI: I had to do that very thing on a machine Windows 7 has not been posted by the correct characters. I fixed it the same way :-)

• How to display Chinese characters in Windows 7 Home Premium?

  I see Chinese characters very well in my browser, but all I see are boxes instead the characters for the programs on my computer (running Windows 7 Home Premium). What I want to know is this: is there a way to display Chinese computers in windows?

  Before I am flooded with a bunch of useless answers telling me to install the "language pack", I must repeat: I'm under Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM. Yes, I tried going to Microsoft Updates and download the language pack. Unfortunately, I can't see the link for me to download the language pack, since I am running Home Premium, but in operating systems, the ability to see the other languages has been included. In other words, just because I'm running updated the operating system compared to some of the older operating systems, I don't see another language, unless I pay update.
  Seriously, Microsoft? Seriously?
  Also, I have in fact look around here to try to find a solution to my problem. Unfortunately, no one ever really answered it. Because the only problem here seems to be a complete disregard of the user and the will to pull as much money on Windows users unhappy. Windows, that is why your stock is lagging. And why I must say that you are unable to many ways to Apple. But if there is a solution, please, by all means, I'm willing to change my assessment.
  Sincerely,
  A frustrated and unhappy Windows user.

  Well, the answer you don't hear or see is the only solution.

  Take or leave.

  Note: Multilingual User Interface Pack MUIs are available in Windows 7 ultimate through Windows Update as optional updates. They are not installed automatically. If you are using Windows 7 Enterprise, contact your system administrator for more information about installing additional languages.

  Follow the steps mentioned below to get additional languages.

  (a) open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, typeUpdate , and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click check for updates , and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

  (c) if updates are found, click on Select optional updates.

  (d) select the MUI that you want, and then click OK.

  (e) click install updates.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  ²Ý                 ----------------------------------------> Getting a junk character instead of chinese 

  If I was using putty, are the steps above enough to get the Chinese characters?
  Our ssh client is Tectia (no putty).
  According to the ML, below the SSH client is configured correctly to use the features of globalization.
  + The correct setting of the NLS_LANG in environments Unix [ID 264157.1] +.
  Googling 'Tectia + Chinese' return any useful results

  I understand that you're talking about Windows SSH Client.

  Putty, you define:

  $ export LANG = zh_CN. UTF-8
  $ export LC_ALL = zh_CN. UTF-8
  $ export NLS_LANG = 'SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA. AL32UTF8.

  and configure Putty in window-> translation to use UTF - 8.

  There is nothing on this topic on the Tectia Web site and in their textbooks, so my best guess is that the customer requires codepage Windows works properly. In this case, you must set your locale by default Windows (locale setting for non-Unicode programs) system in Chinese and use the following settings on the server:

  $ export LANG = zh_CN. GBK
  $ export LC_ALL = zh_CN. GBK
  $ export NLS_LANG = 'SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA. ZHS16GBK ".

  Check with "local-a" as the parameter zh_CN. GBK is supported on your system.

• Proper display of Chinese characters for songs in the external SD cards

• Chinese characters on Windows 7 often appear as boxes.

  First of all, I'm not a newbie to Windows. I have a bit of technical expertise and I tried to find a solution to the problem below for awhile. I found a solution that works briefly, but the problem always comes back. I have this problem on two (!)  PC and I discovered that I'm not the only one affected by this, so I hope that someone at Mircosoft may file a bug report. It is not silly user problem, it's a software problem.

  Here is the description of the problem:

  On both of my Windows 7 64-bit systems of Chinese characters are often displayed as empty areas (squares) in programs such as Notepad or in iTunes. Chinese fonts are installed on my system, so it is not related to missing fonts. I know how temporarily make the characters appear correctly - as described below - but the problem returns.

  I discovered that it seems to be due to a cache of police corrupted. When I delete the C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE file. DAT and restart the computer, the problem disappears usually. However, after a few days the Chinese characters are mixed again and I need to delete the cache of the police again. Sometimes, they're still broken after a reboot and I need to delete the cache of fonts and restart several times in a row.

  I have two PCs running Windows 7, and two of them show this behavior. When I tried to find a solution on the Internet, I found many other people having the same problem. As much as I know it doesn't seem to be a solution from today.

  I have all the latest software patches installed and my systems are fully patched. Last year, I had no such problem. He has only begun to show until a few months ago.

  Please, can someone at Microsoft report a bug on this issue?
