You are correct, the langauge pack is only for the interface, not the
body. BTW, the "Chinese" mentioned is simplified Chinese under GB2312
encoding. No traditional Chinese under Big5 encoding available (I'll
look into that again after V2 is out <g>).

The problem does in fact have to do with CJK
(Chinese-Japanese-Korean), the two-byte languages. This is known to
the developers, and they are looking into it.
In the meantime, I'm running TB! under Chinese Windows (Big5
encoding). I have no problems reading Chinese characters. For writing,
I toggle with crtl-shift or crtl-backspace, and I believe this means
there is a TSR running somewhere as soon as I start my C-Win98.
Drawback: all high characters (such as European or Russian letters)
appear as Chinese characters as well.
ML> It would be such a pity of TB if it can not support two-byte languages.
It doesn't at the moment, and I don't know whether it will in v2 (but
probably not yet). Don't worry, it'll come. <g>
