I've tried to contact your developers several times, but no response. It made me a little disappointed. > It is very exciting for us to have a Chinese > Localization. Are you interested in contributing to full Chinese Language > support? Sure! In fact, we, Chinese Linux Extension project(CLE), have patched abiword to full Chinese support.

Yes, I know this patch is a little ugly, it's a style of "work-for-me-only" patch. So you must take more time to review and merge it. > We're almost at that point now but we need developers with specific > expertise.
