The Problem:
Chinese characters aren't displaying correctly in IE7+. They are displaying in Firefox 3, Chrome, Opera 9.5, and IE6.
Example:
Transportation Scroll down to the footer on the page, click on "Translate This page" and the second option in the select box should be the Chinese characters.
It works for me under Vista and IE7. I'm up-to-date with all patches/fixes/service packs.
Edit: Though let me add that the design is a bit annoying. First you have to scroll all the way to the bottom; then you click on the "translate this" bar. Then you have to scroll down further to actually see the combo box. Not very usable.
Go to a site that actually uses Chinese encoding in IE7 and it will ask you to install the Chinese Language Pack.
Try this: Ming Pao Daily.
I guess it is an OS issue.
@Curt: Thank you for the feedback. In this design, the translations (and many other features) were sort of tacked on. We are currently working on redesigning the site and usability is always foremost in my mind.
I can't promise it'll help, but:
Control Panel/Regional and Language Options
Languages Tab
Check 'Install files for East Asian languages.'
This sorted out some problems we had with display of Chinese not working on some computers. Odd though that it's only IE7+ that have the problem.
