Hi Nate, You don't specify which version of FrameMaker you're using, but, at least for versions 7.2 and earlier, you need to set the operating system's language for non-Unicode programs to an appropriate value to successfully use Far Eastern languages in dialog boxes.
1. In Windows Control Panel, open the "Regional and Language Options" applet. 2. In the "Regional and Language Options" dialog, display the "Advanced" tab. 3. Select the language you want to work with, for example Chinese (PRC). 4. Restart the computer. If the language you want doesn't appear in the list you will need to add it using the "Languages" tab. This setting only applies to non-Unicode programs such as FrameMaker V7.2 and earlier. Hope this helps, Phil Heron -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Nate Stelton Sent: 20 May 2009 16:48 To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Chinese Characters in User Variables Ah, it's good to be back on Framers after a 15-or-so-year hiatus! My question: On an XP machine localized for CH, I'm trying to convert and translate a manual into Simplified Chinese. I'm doing fine with entering or pasting characters directly into the document, but am having no success with variables. In the edit variable window I can get a character in and displaying correctly, but as soon as I space over to do the next character, the previous one changes to a question mark. I hope there is just a simple setting or step I'm missing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
