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. -- John von Colditz Ki Software Corporation johnvon@kisoftware.com (503) 639-9138 ahs wrote in message <6top7u$1vg$1@tst.hk.super.net>... > >Sleiman ���g��峹 <35FE1C35.109B0EC4@hkisl.net>... >>Hello, >> >>I have almost finished making an application in VB4.0 PRO (English >>version).
