Xuemin,
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!! Very appreciative!! However, I know that you will have a trouble in building the current POI website. (What people in multi-byte chars must undergo...) Anyway, I need more information from you. Could you please give me the info of your environment? (Which tool do you use in editing the xmls? Windows Japanese/Traditional Chinese/**** (I forgot) Chinese Edition? Are there any free fonts of chinese? (just my ignorance, sorry)) I think (temporarily) uploading the docs (not xdocs) from Xuemin (built site by Xuemin) directly to daedalus will be the best choice. I am willing to volunteer to do this. Also, I am thinking about the i18n/m17n of the Apache Software Foundation (infrastructure for the translators, etc) and I hope it will be achieved sooner or later. -- Tetsuya ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) P.S. Andrew, Chinese/Korean/Japanese are different from western languages. you can not build the chinese/japanese sites from xdocs in your environment, i guess. I need more wisdom from all over the world! -- On Sat, 2 Aug 2003 20:58:05 +0900 (Subject: Re: Cell value encoding) "Xuemin Guan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, guys, thanks for all the emails.
