Been discussed. US units don't support chinese characters. Unless you can find a way to incorporate the characters to be used with the unit, theres no way.

I haven't tried it, but adding fonts that include Chinese characters (probably to windows/fonts) directory might work...

Did you manage to get Chinese text working?

 

Adding the Unicode fonts to the Windows directory should technically work, since I recently got Chinese text working on my PocketPC (Windows Mobile 2003). But in order for it to work properly under Windows CE I think you will need to use Font Linking, which involves editing the registry. Please see following links: -

On my PocketPC I transfered over the "mingliu.ttc" font file from my computer, which contained Japanese, Traditional and Simplified Chinese. Then I added the following key as explained in teh article...

 

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink"

 

The link I posted talks about adding a SkipTable registry key, which I didn't do and Chinese still works fine on my PocketPC. Here is one more link that helped me... http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winter/v ... index.html

 

Just want to be clear that what I explained above was for PocketPC but since the unit uses Windows CE it should technically work.

So in theory, if we use the method discuss by Redalert + method from here,

it shoudl works , since it enable the system.nls to read chinese and set the registry for it.

 

someone wanna try it out ?
