[Xerte] Re: Hi, I'd like to translate Xerte to Chinese

[Kemp Johnathan]

A lot of work has been taking place recently to make all displayed text
accessible for translation in the next release of Xerte. However  Xerte 2.n
and XOT are based on actionscript 2. I am not sure if this will handle
chinese characters, I am pretty sure it is not working in unicode. I
remember briefly looking at trying to translate something to Hebrew as a
test, by pasting a translation from Google translate and it messed up the
ordering of all the characters.

I found a link here

http://www.ozoneasylum.com/27609

that discussed a possible solution for displaying chinese characters in
flash.

Can I suggest that you download desktop Xerte and create a pageTemplates
project. Then try adding some chinese into one of the text pages form
fields that display text. If you can get that to work you could be well on
the way to a solution as far as the display of text in the pages is
concerned as translation for the page templates is being implemented by
making all the text on the page accessible via the page's form.

Perhaps you would like to post back to the list to let us know how you get
on.

Kind regards

Johnathan
