flameproof Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:18 AM Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:18 AM I have a problem pasting characters from "whatever source" to QQ chat. It always comes out at ???????? Pasting from QQ to "whatever" is no problem. I have a workaround, I paste first to Notepad, then copy it from Notepad to QQ, then it works. Note: I use English Xp and have English QQ open via AppLocal. Seem to be related to character encoding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:59 AM Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:59 AM Try and see what happens if you run the program you are copying text from in AppLocale, with the locale set to Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WangYuHong Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 at 04:05 PM If you're running the English version of QQ on an English XP system, why do you need to run it through AppLocal? I always thought AppLocal should be used when the program and OS don't match (e.g. Chinese QQ program on an English XP system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted December 12, 2007 at 06:34 AM Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 at 06:34 AM If you're running the English version of QQ on an English XP system, why do you need to run it through AppLocal? I presume English QQ is a Chinese program and only menues etc. are in English. Without AppLocal I can not see or write characters at all.

WangYuHong Posted December 12, 2007 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 at 03:09 PM That's interesting... One of these days QQ will figure out what Unicode is... Anyway, I've never experienced the problem you described. I'm usually doing things the other way around (copying things from QQ into a dictionary program... ) It sounds like it's a compatability issue from using AppLocal, but I don't have any suggestions how you might fix it...

zmanc1987 Posted January 1, 2008 at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 at 09:53 PM Go to your control panel, Click Language and Regional settings Click administrative or advanced tab depending on operating system, then Change system Locale, to Chinese PRC this will make it work. And it will not affect English based programs. Restart your computer and it will make Chinese in qq and other software work. No copy paste needed.

imron Posted January 2, 2008 at 02:17 AM Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 at 02:17 AM And it will not affect English based programsBut it will affect non-English programs, which is why using Microsoft's AppLocale is usually a better solution.@Flameproof, did you find a solution to the problem yet?

zmanc1987 Posted January 2, 2008 at 02:56 AM Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 at 02:56 AM Wasn't the point to affect non English programs, eg QQ? I guess since I only use Spanish, English and Chinese I don't run into any problems changing the settings this way, maybe other people do.

imron Posted January 2, 2008 at 03:38 AM Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 at 03:38 AM No, the point was to affect non-unicode Chinese applications. Changing the system settings will set the default codepage for all non-unicode programs. Using AppLocale allows you to change it on a per application basis. This allows you to run legacy applications from different languages (i.e. Chinese and Japanese) without needing to reboot to get the language to display properly. Quite a significant number of users ran/run into this problem, hence the reason Microsoft released this utility. Once installed, it can be also run by limited user accounts, meaning users of a machine can run legacy applications from different languages without needing to have access to the system settings.

jukebox Posted January 6, 2008 at 01:56 PM Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 at 01:56 PM I'd recommend the brand-new TM 2008, which features full Unicode support without any ads. Though currently TM2008 is still provided as a preview, it's much more stable than any other QQ versions. It's also available in an English version. http://im.qq.com/intl/en/tm/2008/download.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted January 24, 2008 at 04:53 AM Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 at 04:53 AM Interesting! I installed the English TM 2008, and I can: read Chinese write Chinese Paste Chinese to QQ Do NOT have to open via AppLocale (in my English Xp) All problems solved! Special thanks to jukebox!!!

imron Posted January 24, 2008 at 05:16 AM Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 at 05:16 AM Looks like Tencent has finally discovered Unicode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipsi() Posted January 26, 2008 at 09:20 AM Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 at 09:20 AM And aren't we all bloody thankful for that? Discovered another application I use (VOIPBusterPro) has also finally discovered Unicode. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameproof Posted February 29, 2008 at 01:38 AM Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 at 01:38 AM This link no longer works: >> http://im.qq.com/intl/en/tm/2008/download.shtml The file to download was: tm2008preview4_en.exe (about 10Mb) With that string you can google for it and will find a few sources, example: http://uploaded.to/?id=7hgc0e If you want English QQ this is really the best version so far, and it's the first in Unicode, so no more tricks to make it work in English Windows Xp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
