For a presentation, one of our salespeople wants to show a Palm form in
English, and the same form in Chinese (actually Mandarin.) They can be two
separate apps, if necessary.
We have employees that speak Chinese, so translation is not a problem, but I
don't know how to write the Chinese version of the demo app. I found Chinese
versions of the E2 and TX simulators, but I'm having trouble finding
information about how to create a Palm program that displays in Chinese using
my English development tools (CodeWarrior 9.3).
Does anyone have any experience with this, or know where I should look for
information?
Thanks,

Hello Jeff,
I'am also not aware of any development tool that supports chinese. There
should be a way but I wanna help you if no one else answers..
PalmOS is able to display multi-byte characters (actually I did a quick
test about 4 years ago). Therefore it should be possible to place a
multibyte-string somewhere (we prefer language-datbases we embedd into
our apps) and display them at runtime by copying them into a field. Or
you lock and store their pointers to call CtlSetLabel(). This causes
more effort on the first language but you just have to update your
language-database when adding languages later.
Regards,
thomas
