Chinese - Anyone

[Martin_fr]

Anyone speaking/reading/writing Chinese?

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35464

I seem to have a communication problem. "Yes" does not really answer on "... or ... " question.

Could someone confirm, if the attached "dummy" installer, has proper Chinese translations?

Thanks

Actually I couldn't trust this kind softwares for lazarus community...

[Martin_fr]

It's a normal inno setup (except it is almost empty).

It appears to work on windows (in the same way as the normal installer). But I have no idea, if the Chinese is correctly displayed.

It is also helpful to give the particular dialect that you expect. E.G.  Simplified?
That has a huge impact!
Otherwise it can be Dutch... Or German...

Traditional and simplified Chinese do not go well together.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters

There are respected forum members that can more precisely show the difference because they speak Mandarin as a second language. I am not one of them. (But made software that supported Chinese - simplified - and fell in the same trap)

[garlar27]

My Chinese is not good but with a quick look I can tell you it doesn't looks like Simplified Chinese. But beyond that, text is broken look to the attached pictures

Red color: is JAPANESE !!!!    (　" す "　" ル " the first one is a HIRAGANA character and the second one is a KATAKANA character)
Orange color: Why all those "€" and "?"
Purple color: Lazarus was changed to "azarus".

[kupferstecher]

I can confirm the result Garlar27 posted (Win7, Unicode compatibility setting for Chinese). Its no Chinese text, just a meaningless mixture of characters and symbols.

From the bug tracker: I understand Robsean like that: It works correcctly (for him), if he saves the isl-file in ANSI-encoding. But not if he saves it as UTF-8.

[Martin_fr]

Can you review the attached please? Attachment => https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=35464#c115980

[garlar27]

NOW IT DOES LOOKS GOOD !!!

No crappy font.
No weird chars
No Japanese chars
And even I can understand a few words!!! (my vocabulary is shortening every day)

[kupferstecher]

I also can confirm. It works!
