Win 2K/XP/Vista solves the best way of traditional characters

People who like to play games will encounter a flaw: the traditional game produced by Hong Kong and Taiwan shows garbled characters in Simplified Chinese Windows, which brings us great inconvenience. In fact, the main reason for the garbled is that the language code page used by RTHK Windows is Big5 code, and the mainland is the national standard (GB). If the game is not designed according to Unicode code, there will be garbled characters.

Installing Traditional Chinese Windows

This is the most direct and most thorough solution. Just install a space in the existing hard disk and install a traditional Chinese version of Windows. The Windows installer will automatically create a multi-boot menu that will take you to the Simplified or Traditional version of Windows within 30 seconds of each boot. The advantage of this is that there is no longer a need to coordinate the different requirements of different software for the Windows system language; the disadvantage is that it takes up more hard disk space.

Modify System Language Code Page Settings

Another way is to modify the language code page settings for the Control Panel. Click the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then select Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options. In the "Language and Regional Options" window, select the "Advanced" page, and then change the "Non-Unicode Programming Language Settings" from "Chinese (PRC)" to "Hong Kong (Chinese) (HongKongS.AR)" Or Taiwan Province can also, and then press the "OK" button to save the changes.

At this time, I have not completed all the steps! To restart once, the settings will take effect. vice versa. The advantage of this modification is that you don't have to install a traditional version of Windows. The disadvantage is that it will affect the Simplified Chinese software after turning it into Traditional Chinese. If you want to use Simplified Chinese software, you need to change it back.

Using Microsoft's Language Settings Tool

Many people don't know, Microsoft has also created a free language setting tool for this. However, this language setting tool is not distributed with Windows XP/vista and needs to be downloaded online. The name of this gadget is called "MicrosoftAppLocale" (Microsoft's free download address: www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=16712f0b-a935-4140-9163-1514c89f6ddd&&displaylang=zh-cn)

After setting by Applocale, whether it is a program using GB text encoding or a game that requires directx GB code version, it can correctly display traditional Chinese. As in the traditional version of Windows, this method may be the most A good solution.
