Re: Re: Chinese translation of SIP communicator/Font handling in SIP-Communicator

Thanks for the detail Dai,

OK, so I guess it's a Windows issue. (Anyone can confirm
this running on
Mac OS X?).

Yana, maybe you'd have an idea as to what might be causing
this?

I'm willing to test it on OSX but even though I select
Chinese as the  
primary OS language I still have the english menu in SIP
Communicator  
(looks like it does not find the correct chinese property
file  
matching the language selection).

Enclosed is my MacOSX config, maybe Dai can tell me if it's
the  
correct langage set? (there are many to choose between).

Cheers,
romain
