Internationaldelphi

Subject: Re: delphi for asian langauge Well, this should make you happy: I run English Delphi on Japanese Win95, and it has no problems with Japanese. Of course, you would have to translate all your strings, but all the text entry controls (TEdit, TMemo, TRichEdit, etc.) have an option to set the IME type in the Object Inspector. Users can input Japanese text just like in any other application. Everything works as you would expect: you can type Japanese text in the IDE editor; system buttons (OK, Cancel) are in Japanese; the default font is the Japanese system font. . . As long as you are developing on a Japanese OS, you can make completely localized Japanese applications. I assume that the same is true for Chinese. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

These contain articles on how the internationalized Windows 95 for the asian markets. Maybe you'll find help there.
