    Dear Gurus,

    Your suggestion is required. Our team wants to override “windows regional language Settings” for Chinese Language by applying encoding technique.

    Is there any way to show Chinese characters properly without configuring the language settings from “Control Panel”. please suggest the possible solution if any.

    Thanks

    My guess would be no. If I type ????? can you read this chinese? When you get the data from the DB the client machine will attempt to display it; if it doesn't have anything assigned to that ASCII (or whatever) value returned then how can it display it? It will just show 5 squares. You can copy & paste it into Google Translate and you can re-insert it and it should insert properly. E.g. If you translate hello on Google Translate then copy the 2 squares you see and use them as a value in an insert statement then other people (with the language pack installed) will be able to query & see the Chinese characters you inserted but didn't see yourself.

    I think it's because you insert some ASCII value representing the character but your computer doesn't know how to actually convert it itself (no language pack) so it defaults to the squares.

    Its mean you are confirming that with out setting Chinese language in control panel we can display Chinese language to the client machine.

    And yes i can read your Chinese language which you have typed.

    Oh, so you have the language pack installed 😛 Yes. Clients with the package installed can read it. You just cant see the data on the server if you don't have the pack installed there (or other machine without it).

    Dear Dird,

    Please see that if ANSI, shall we change it to Unicode or UTF-8 to support these pc without configuring Microsoft Office Language Setting and Windows Control Panel to meet China Characters showing?

    Thanks

    UTF8 supports Chinese. So it would work.
