- Yes it is true. Some group, somewhere went through the trouble to localize
- Japanese and Chinese in DOS and on the Workbench. I belive from someones post
- way back said that there was such a "kit" available in Japan, but only for
- 1.3. I need to find out who and where so I can get in touch with them. I did
- a version on one of the libraries and it had a date of 26-1-96, so someone is
- still working on it.
-
- For those who want to know, I have currently the system menus, requesters, dos
- shell etc... in Japanese. The font driver library only does EUC encoded
- text, so no JIS. But there quite a lot of EUC text as I found out while
- browsing with AMosiac an Alynx using the fonts. A converter exists on Aminet.
- There are two font sizes in 16 and 18 for the system.
-
- It would be great if there was such a kit commercially available for me as a
- student of the language. Plus if would give others a chance to write catalogs
- for the vast number of programs currently available. Plus it would benifit
- AMIGA TECH as well! Hey, there is over a billion people who can speak
- Chinese!(^_^)
