AARONHD03 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My fianc'ee gave to me a 3 page letter handwritten in Chinese..I would really like to know what she wrote to me..but have been unsuccessful in finding a way to have it translated..any ideas?(it was written to me the day after I arrived in Beijing..and though she was emotional at the time it was written..my stay was quite pleasant..and we are doing quite well at present) Link to comment
NDTPRO Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I am sure one of the Chinese speakers here would interpret the letter for you, or my wife said she would be happy to do it for you just send me a PM and we can help you out. Link to comment
A Mafan Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I can translate it for you if you send or post a .pdf file. Link to comment
Guest Mike and Lily Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I can translate it for you if you send or post a .pdf file. You can try a translation tool such as this one, but the translation will not be entirely accurate. You are much better off having someone translate that is fluent in both languages. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/?fr=avbbf-us Link to comment
griz326 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Because it is a handwritten letter, he needs a translator. It is unlikely he is able to enter the Chinese characters into the computer himself. I have not yet found a character recognition program that can interpret handwritten Chinese characters. If one exists, I would like to know about it. Link to comment

Randy W Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Because it is a handwritten letter, he needs a translator. It is unlikely he is able to enter the Chinese characters into the computer himself. I have not yet found a character recognition program that can interpret handwritten Chinese characters. If one exists, I would like to know about it. My wife is a holy terror with this - around 90% or over recognition. We have the PenPower software from Twinbridge, and a Langwen 8388 hand translator (I forget the exact model number), both of which accept the Chinese script¡£The Microsoft Japanese IME that comes with XP will also accept (and do an excellent job of interpreting) Chinese script, but Jiaying didn't like the small window you had for entry. The Twinbridge software allows you to use the full window space of the program you are entering to, or a full screen mode. The Twinbridge program also has OCR, but we haven't tried this.

Aaron The CFL PM or email functions don't allow attachments - just PM someone who volunteered. Then send them a regular email. I'd volunteer, but my wife doesn't speak enough English Link to comment
