Viewing Chinese Characters
The Taiwan Yearbook has Chinese characters interspersed with the English text as an added benefit for those able to read Chinese. However, if you're using a non-Chinese operating system to view the Taiwan Yearbook 2006, the Chinese characters may appear as either gibberish or a bunch of small squares.
To view instructions on how to properly view Chinese, please click on your operating system: Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000/ME/98/95.
Microsoft Windows Vista: Vista supports viewing Chinese natively. You should be able to view Chinese without having to install anything.
- Open Start>Settings>Control Panel.
- Double-click on "Date, Time, Regional and Language Options."
- Click on "Regional and Language Options."
- On the "Languages" tab, check the box labeled "Install files for East Asian languages."
- Click "OK" when a box comes on the screen informing you of the space needed for installation.
- Click "OK" on the "Languages" tab.
- A dialog box will open prompting you to enter the path where the Windows XP installation disk or network location where the languages support files can be found. Insert your Windows XP CD or search to find the proper network location. Click "OK."
- The files needed will then be installed.
- Restart your computer.
