tooironic Posted October 8, 2009 at 08:31 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 at 08:31 AM Um, I think this is in the right place. My question is, you know sometimes when you copy text from a computer with a Chinese operating system and you transfer it to your English OS and the characters are all in weird latin letters? Is there some way to convert these back into the Chinese script? Like a program or or a setting or some such? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted October 8, 2009 at 08:53 AM Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 at 08:53 AM Assuming you're using Windows: If it's text, you can paste it in a .txt file. Then open the .txt file in Microsoft Word (provided with many commercially assembled Windows computers) and it should notice that the encoding is screwed and give you a list of choices. I don't know if OpenOffice Writer (free) does that. If it's a program, run it through Microsoft AppLocale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
