I notice you are loading "Chinese.dll" and I think that could be a
problem for you. Chinese has far too many characters for the VCL (which
uses UTF-8) to display. Even if a machine is configured to support the
correct codepages I'm pretty sure that the results will be poor. For
most letter based languages a codepage can be created with a dedicated
set of language specific characters to complete the required alphabet.
For Chinese I don't think this is possible.

I think you would do better to look at something like the SiComponents
TSiLang suite:
