Simutaneously have Chinese as system language and properly display Spanish characters?

[歐博思]

Currently my Win 7 Ultimate operating system is set to simplified chinese. Now, I want to study some Spanish as well. My problem is when I try to view words with accents. These kind of words display incorrectly as acci髇\ciones or pel韈ula.

Trying to fix the problem myself I have tried:

System Wide:

1)time/date format to Spanish/Spain (switching to Korean alone fixed my corruption with Starcraft displaying Korean)

2)location to Spain

3) non unicode display language to Spanish/Spain/International

Firefox:

1) tried various encoding options, including the latin standard ISO 8859-1.

After posting this I am going to switch to the Spanish operating system. I anticipate lots of broken Chinese characters. This will be ok for awhile, but has anyone overcomed this problem?

Are you talking about Spanish websites not displaying properly?

I am using a Chinese version of Windows 7 and in regional settings, have non-Unicode programs set to Chinese, but I can read Spanish website in Firefox just fine.

http://elpais.com/ , for example, is fine.

Lots of pages display fine, such as your link. Some pages like http://wordsgalore.com/wordsgalore/languages/spanish/spanish1000.html will display strange characters. Could you let me know if my link works on your machine?

For that link, the default encoding of Unicode under FIrefox doesn't seem to work for me. Once I change the encoding to Western, then it's fine.

Which western enconding did you pick?

edit：I have narrowed it down. It is a Firefox problem for me. Internet Explorer can display that page correctly.

Both the ISO and Windows Western encodings work for me.

Mine works now too. I have been going into file>options>advanced instead of file>web developer>

I thought I was computer literate :`(((((((((
