Nicknames In Different Languages by Aquaboy on 05-30-2006 at 04:38 AM

I've noticed that some people can type there nicknames in other languages and other people can actually view them in other languages.

1. How can I properly view their nicknames that are partially in other languages?

2. How can I type a nickname in another language?

I'd really like to know. Thanks.

No, they can actually type other languages such as, French, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

Typing in Frecnh(Français) is simple - 'Je parle Français'.
German(Deutsch)- Ich spreche Deutsches
Spanish(Español )-Hablo español
Chinese(中国)-我不会说中文
*Messenger supports Chinese bt this forum doesnt.

I dont have an idea about other lanuages(i dont understand them) but i think even they can be used.

To translated them use -Google Translation

But for some reason I can't always view chinese characters though. Sometimes they appear as boxes and lines in MSN Messenger. How do I change that so that I can properly view them? I'm currently using MSN Messenger 7.5.

I mean that they're not actual characters, just random stuff like:

[][\ |||... etc.

Sometimes it depends on the languages that you have installed in your computer.
And also if you change the text font in your computer, lets say from Tahoma to Trebuchet MS, some charcters won't even show in your msn list but will/might in the conversation window.

This is a Windows problem, not a messenger one. You'll have to download and run a language pack add-on, the easiest way that I know of is directly through IE

You don't need a language pack add-on: just go into Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages and check the two boxes. Hit OK, insert Windows CD when asked, and reboot if asked.
Problem solved ;P

Control Panel>Regional and Language Options. Select the Languages tab, and if you want to write in a east asian language, tick the little box "Install filles for East Asian Languages". Then it will probably prompt for windows cd. To write using other languages, still in the Languages tab, click Details button. Then add the languages you want in the new window that will open. Then click all the OK in each windows. Then you can write in other languages.(Accessing by the Taskbar):
