I reinstalled my OS today (actually 'upgraded' to server 2k3) and am now setting up firefox.
I would like it to display japanese / chinese / whatever text whenever the need arises but the browser isn't doing that
Things I've done so far:
- set encoding to unicode
- set languages to include japanese and chinese. Set those two languages to be on top (in order that I supposedly want them used)
Is there anything else I missed, or am I totally off? What needs to be done?
Did you try looking at plugins ?
I have Rikaichan which is pretty handy for translating pages in Japanese. They might have one for display too.
Did you install the Japanese language pack off the Windows CD?
Why did you "upgrade" to Server 2003? It's not really meant to be a desktop environment.
Yeah, check you've installed japanese (far eastern language) support - I remember it being more annoying to enable in Win2k3 than XP but don't remember why now :p
The encoding you should look for for Japanese is 'Japanese (Shift_JIS)'.
To get there from my version of Windows/Firefox:
View>Character Encoding>More Encoding>East Asian>Japanese Shift JIS.
I'd imagine the other ones for the other places would work just as well. I don't know if you can get it to pick the right encoding automatically, but if not it's easy to switch them around.
I had the same problem.
Go to a page that has Japanese text using Internet Explorer
IE will offer to install Eastern Language support.
Install
It will work in firefox then.
