This has absolutely nothing to do with WebObjects, but this is the

indulge me. I've tried to Google but am not coming up with much,
probably due to using the wrong keywords.
We are talking to a prospective client whose site is entirely in
Chinese. The data is stored in Postgres in Traditional Chinese,
and is translated to Simplified Chinese for use by the site by a
third-party program. This program has no English-language
information available at all; I don't even know it's name. This
is not a problem for their former vendor, who is in Hong Kong, but
it's quite a bit of a problem for us.
I would like to move them away from this program and onto a
solution I can understand, but I have found very little information
out there about how to do this conversion and why an extra program
is even necessary. If anyone can explain this to me, or point me
towards some information, I would really, really appreciate it.
thanks,
janine
You might want to check with the people who do localization and
internationalization of Mozilla apps, such as Firefox. Most of their
newsgroups and irc channels are completely open.
Let me know if you want more specific pointers, but going to
www.mozilla.org and looking for things related to Chinese might get
you some info and contacts.
