I don't believe VB 4.0 will handle Chinese fonts very well.  Contact Whipple
Ware (www.whippleware.com).  They have a product for doing translations,
when you don't design it for translation from the ground up.

VB 5 will handle resource strings, which makes the translations easier.

>>Hello,
>>
>>I have almost finished making an application in VB4.0 PRO (English
>>version). Now the next task is to translate the application to Chinese.
>>Few questions I have, and I'd appreciate input:
>>(1) Can VB4.0 (English) handle Chinese fonts? The images that contain
>>English will be changed to images with Chinese writing. How about:
>> o Displaying Chinese characters in message boxes?
>> o Displaying Chinese characters in Apex True DBGrid?
>> o Displaying Chinese characters in the caption of forms?
>>Can the English version handle the task or do I have to purchase VB4.0
>>in Chinese?
>>(2) Sorting is an issue when dealing with Chinese characters. How can I
>>sort by name? How does Excel, for example, sort Chinese names? Is there
>>a code written that handles sorting Chinese strings?
>>(3) Specifying a range of names is another issue. In English I can say
>>"All names between A and E". How is this done in Chinese?
>>
>>Thank you
>>Sleiman
>>PS. Please reply to sender as well when you reply to this message.
