MS Access Forum / Forms / April 2008Chinese Characters in Access db
Hello, I have been asked to write a small inventory application where the item id's and descriptions need to be kept in both English and Chinese. I have all versions of access from 2000-2007 available. I believe the text fields have to have the Unicode setting on, but how do I allow input into both the English Field and the Chinese field in their respective language in Access? So far, I've just been able to "paste" translations from AltaVista Babel Fish into the Chinese Fields and key into the English Fields. So, I would like to be able to have an input form into these fields: Chinese ID: Chinese-writing English ID: B54-5LB Chinese Description: Chinese writing English Description: 5 pound bag of white rice Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks a lot. John you will need to install chinese input software to be able to input chinese characters. for windows vista you can do so via the control panel language options. for windows xp and earlier versions of windows you will will have to install 3rd party chinese input software. fred > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > John Thanks Fred. Do you or anyone know about the Multilingual User Interface Pack or the Arial Unicode MS Font? I guess the more I think about this, it would be nice to allow the user to switch the app into their appropriate language, or at least the input screens. This is like bable fish where you can have it translate the entire web-page or web-site (not sure how well it does) but something like that. Any ideas?
