| Author/Date | Japanese Language Problem |
| hi64 26/04/2005 3:41am | Hi,
I'm using Scribe in Japanese and having a problem that letters turn into garbage to compose a mail in Japanese. Does anybody know the way out of this case? |
| fret 26/04/2005 4:17am | I recently tested Japanese input on my Windows XP (en) install using this as a guide. Which versions of Scribe and Windows are you using?
Maybe some examples of what you set the IME to and which keypresses you tried and a screenshot of the garbage might help. People keep telling it doesn't work and when I try it it's fine. So if you could help me see the issue at this end it would help a lot. The more detailed your instructions can be the better. I hope you have time to help. regards |

I'm having problems on [Application] both of "inScribe v187"and "inScribe v188 rc-1" [OS] Microsoft Windows XP Professional verision2002 Service Pack 2 (Japanese) [IME] each of "Microsoft Natural Input 2002 ver. 8.1", "Microsoft IME Standard 2002 ver 8.1", and Japanese 3rd party's IME named "ATOK 17". If I type "aiueo" and enter-key,it should display Japanese Syllabary Caracters'(Hiragana) first 5 letters, but I will see letters "bdfhj". or, If I type "nihon" , space-key and enter-key, it should display the Country name of Japan in Japanese with Chinese characters(Kanji), I will see correct 1st chinese character and garbled 2nd letter ",". I'd like to show you a screenshot. How can I send it you? |
| fret 26/04/2005 7:47am | Heres what happened when I tried it:
I used i.Mage to process the screen shot, but I don't know whether it works well of Japanese Windows. In any case you can find plenty of screen capture freeware on the internet. To grab a screenshot, select the window and press |
| fret 26/04/2005 7:49am | PS just email me the screenshot... don't bother with trying to put it online somewhere. |
| hi64 27/04/2005 2:28am | I sent you screenshoots |
| hi64 27/04/2005 9:58am | followup:
When I type same Japanese words in subject and mail-body, body is garbled but subject is fine! |
| fret 27/04/2005 11:44pm | I've been looking at the screenshots and while I can't reproduce them on my machine I have access to some Windows XP Japanese machines, so I'll try Scribe on them and see what happens. I'll keep you posted. |
| overstated 23/05/2005 1:45pm | currently using i.scribe with gmail. managed to configure it correctly, but none of my japanes eemails are displayed properly, despite having set the interface and message fonts to MS Gothic. Any help on this? |
| overstated 23/05/2005 2:12pm | Update: installed the 'extras' package, but still having the problem sometimes.
In the list view: - sender names and subjects that are in shift-jis or ISO-2022-JP is appears as ASCii jibberish. - in the message body view, often a japanese-encoded email is read as ASCii. I can't seem to get the 'change char set' option to do anything. |
| fret 23/05/2005 10:20pm | hi64: This problem is fixed in rc3...
overstated: Ok, which version of Scribe? Which operating system? Can you export the message and send it to me? |
| overstated 24/05/2005 1:31am | using rc 3. i don't see an option for message exporting anywhere. instructions? |
| overstated 24/05/2005 1:34am | nevermind..found the 'save as' command in the context menu (it could stand to be in a normal menu really..)..emailed to you. |
