LINKS: SOFTWARE: you can read the Chinese characters on this site without making any special adjustments because they are in a picture form (gif). Most Chinese on the web is encoded in a more compressed form: either GB (simplified characters used in mainland China) or in BIG-5 (traditional characters used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and in classical Chinese texts). You can download the traditional (BIG-5) Chinese language support file from the Microsoft site. NJSTAR WP 5: it can import Chinese texts, and show the English translation,
pinyin pronunciation and radical of any character when you point
the mouse at it. It includes a Chinese-English dictionary. Site by Thomas, sinophile: contact: 'thomas23 *at* laposte.net' |
