It depends on each programs. If a program uses the locale, it works. > For example, Evolution doesn't display Japanese characters on my > system. But I haven't fulled around with locales yet. Does setting > locales change everything (error messages, etc.) to Japanese? I don't know Evolution well... The locale provides character convertion, message format, etc. However, it's not a special magic. > I work mostly in English, but it would be nice to have my address book > display my Japanese friends properly. At the moment, everything > Japanese I do under Emacs. I'm using Mew on Emacs. It can handle English, Japanese, Korean, etc in ~/Mail/Addrbook (I put `# -*- Coding: ctext -*-' at the 1st line). P.S. Sylpheed (non-emacsen, GUI mail reader) is developed by a Japanese, Hiroyuki Yamamoto. Maybe it can handle Japanese and others. -- Tatsuya Kinoshita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
