• chinese font ??

    Posted by Roy Roffey on January 8, 2007 at 2:00 pm

    Is there such a thing as a translation program from English to Chinese?

    eg: if you type the word restaurant then the Chinese symbol for this will appear as a font ( ttf ? )

    I’m told that something like this is found on word but i cant see it !!!

    thanks

    If you go to Google homepage and then into language tools, type in what you want and then translate into chinese, drag and copy the translated text then paste 🙂

    Done for you: 餐厅

    I THINK you have to enable ‘install on demand’ enabled in explorer to download & see chinese fonts (or have them on your system already).

    In TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > ADVANCED

    Been a long time since I needed to do it!
