Can I register another ID in chinese?
 
as the title

No, I don't believe the system will handle Chinese characters. :confused:

Billy and Breakingnews are both Chinese charcters.
:rimshot:

I don't know about a registering a chinese username, but the user title appears to be OK. Guess it's a matter of whether your system can read chinese. Is it?

Are you talking about the two boxes under your name? :question:

Ibby 12-03-2006 08:29 AM

I sure as hell see them, though i cant read them.

Bruce, install chinese language support?

breakingnews 12-03-2006 09:34 AM

Should be entirely dependent on your desktop OS. I'm sure language packs are available from microsoft. A friend said she was able to install one pretty easily - i've never had to do it myself. Mac OS, I dunno about that.

What for? They still wouldn't mean any more to me than the boxes. I doubt if very many people coming here can.

Probably more important, this is an American board in English, for the most part. Personally, I'd like to keep it that way, so everyone can read everything, but that's not up to me.

I also believe, if sevenseven wants to communicate with Chinese people in Chinese, this is not the place for it. Why should UT finance their cultural revolution and risk the Chinese government having the Cellar blocked in China? :2cents:

that's the chinese symbol for.....'two boxes' i took chinese. trust me

BigV 12-04-2006 04:50 PM

heh. I thought he was addressing 77

Flint 12-04-2006 07:37 PM

Incidentally, now that I'm at home, I see breakingnews' user title displayed properly, on a fresh IE7 install.

breakingnews 12-04-2006 11:47 PM

yeah, like i said, just depends on your language settings. software to view chinese (and many many other languages) can be d/led from microsoft support. software to type characters is a separate program.

of course there's only like two or three people on the cellar for whom those lines and squiggles mean anything, and they probably already have asian languages installed ... ashke, billy ... ibram, how's your reading?
