Converting gibberish back into Chinese


Recommended Posts

Posted

Um, I think this is in the right place. My question is, you know sometimes when you copy text from a computer with a Chinese operating system and you transfer it to your English OS and the characters are all in weird latin letters? Is there some way to convert these back into the Chinese script? Like a program or or a setting or some such? Cheers.

Assuming you're using Windows:

If it's text, you can paste it in a .txt file. Then open the .txt file in Microsoft Word (provided with many commercially assembled Windows computers) and it should notice that the encoding is screwed and give you a list of choices. I don't know if OpenOffice Writer (free) does that.

If it's a program, run it through Microsoft AppLocale.
