credzba Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 try using firefox instead of internet explorer.I could never get any chinese characters to go through internet explorer, but firefox works ... sometimes Maybe someone else can give you a good answer Link to comment
Shenzhen K-1 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 You need to tell your internet connection you are using Chinese not jibberish!! Go to your internet icon and then go to properties, click on the general tab. You need to add Chinese text and then it should work. Also I use google translator when I am in the mood to send a letter in Chinese!! But a quote from my SO!!! Leave the translating to me, her software is much better!! Link to comment

Gmail will recognize the codec automatically. Otherwise you need to switch the language setting in your yahoo mail to "simplified Chinese". I don't think the browser will make any difference but I will recommend Firefox too. No IE, No Yahoo and Hotmail.... You will be much happier. Let me know if you need a "invitation" to get a Gmail.

Dan R Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 As long as you are using IE as your browser just go to view on the top. Select encoding and be sure you have it set for Chinese simplified. This will get the ÖÐÎÄ rather than gibberish. You can also install your MS language Chinese keyboard from the control panel to type using pinyin. Link to comment
