Solve : Japanese language support?

Answer»

I do not have Japanese language support on my computer, so therefore anything in the Japanese language I download is being encrpyted or whatever, and therefore unreadable.

Does any kind person know how I can overcome this problem, so it comes down as it is written, and then I can translate it.

Thanks in advance,

BelvinYour OS? Is your OS an English version? Have you looked at the language options in Windows? Hi "Soybean"

Thanks for your reply. My computer was built in England, by a shop that built computers in their back workshop for individual people. I have Windows XP SERVICE pack 2, so I presume it is an English version.

I am a complete newbie with regards to computers, so I do not have a clue how to find "language options in Windows"

Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks

BelvinThis should help: Installing East Asian Language Support Under Windows XP Hi "Soybean".

Thanks for that link. Followed it up to and including step 4. Not sure what to do next, or how far to go, don't want to mess up my system.

Checked file titles - they are still "encrypted" as before, can you advise further, please?

Please be more specific here. Are you talking about BROWSING websites using Japanese language, or are you talking about downloading text documents that would normally be viewed in a word processor, etc.? Exactly what do you mean?

And, do normally need to just view something with Japanese language, or do you also need to type Japanese from your keyboard?Hi "Soybean" Many thanks for your patience.

In answer to your first question - No I have downloaded some Japanese documentary films, which had Japanese titles which came down encrypted because I did not have Japanese language support. I need to be able to somehow see them in their original form, so I can COPY and paste them in one of the translation sites, to get the correct meaning. I was hoping that doing your tutorial step 1 - 4 would correct them back to their original form, but it did not.

To your second paragraph the first PART I suppose the answer is "yes", but to the second part of the question is "no"So, you're trying to watch Japanese documentary films that you've downloaded. In that case, I suspect doing so does not require installing Japanese language support in your computer. Since you're watching a film, that's a different matter than viewing a webpage with Japanese language on it or being able to type Japanese characters from your keyboard. Whatever is recorded on film is what you get, period. At least, that's my thinking on this.

Do the Japanese documentary films offer an on-screen panel where you can select certain preferences for how you view and listed to the film?

Since I'm not familiar with Japanese documentary films, I can not assist you further. If anyone else has some thoughts on this, please jump in.Hi "Soybean"

No, you misunderstand me. It is not the film that matters. They are in AVI format and watchable. It is the titles which were originally in Japanese language, which have downloaded with the films which are encrypted - these are what I am trying to sort out, back to their original writing to allow me to translate them.

Thanks
