Why? Because the file names are encoded in Chinese and I want them to display as Chinese characters so I can translate them into English? what program they use to create such zip? I don't know, and have no control over what they use. Some zip program on a computer with system encoding set to Chinese. show some example. Filename is Product A和B版本.jpg in folder Product 測試報告, but is encoded using Big5, so 7-zip extracts it as filename Product A⌐MB¬⌐Ñ╗.jpg in folder Product ┤·╕╒│°ºi. If I run C:\Program...

Probably most people just extract the files with the garbled names and leave it like that because they don't know there's a way to fix it. That's what I've been doing.

So there's no option to just choose the encoding of the file? We have to enter things on the command line? C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" -mcp=950 x "測試報告.zip seems to work for me. I guess I need to write a script to guess the encoding and feed the right option to 7zip and then translate the filenames...

Is there a way to do this yet? ZIP files sent from Chinese factory always have garbled filenames.
