Thanks for the information. Glad to know someone is working on it.:) If =
it is
all possible, please forward a copy of the Simplified Chinese po file to =
me. We
(my user) will try it out.

With the help of someone, we directly converted the Traditional Chinese =
po
version to a gb2312 codebase file. Although it works to some degree, we
consider it is less than satisfying.:)

There is no need to apologies at all regarding the name used. Otherwise =
it may
sound like something political or religion.:)

I have not done much search on an official web site regarding what name =
should
be used. This page mentions a bit about them:

Basically Taiwan and HongKong use Big5 (Traditional Chinese) while =
Mainland
China and Singapore use BG2312 (Simplified Chinese).

Cheers
