I took a look at IE's write-mode: tb-rl and it rotates the characters as
well as the text. Probably not what is wanted.
CSS3 specifies this ability but IE does not handle it (don't know about
IE7) and I didn't check FireFox 1.5 or Opera.
When the major browsers support CSS3 then perhaps
www.crosswire.org/study can be changed to use it.

Hi.
A friend of mine is just finishing the translation of the NT into
traditional Mongolian. He works together with the UBS and the local curch
here in cina. Now my question: how can I get the document ready for the
sword project? Is there already a Chinese program version? if not what do I
have to do to translate the version.
At http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/ is some information how
to prepare a module.
I think a chinese translation of the windows software is available.
For Linux it's not difficult to prepare a new translation if there are
volunteers to do the actual translation.
One more technical question: Mongolian is written vertical with the first
column left towards right. I am a developer myself. is there a way to
enable the sword sw to write vertical?
Hm, I don't think this is possible atm.
Afaik Internet Explorer has some hacks to display mongolian, but this is not
available in the windows software.
SIL/Wycliffe has some work going to enable applications to render more
languages, the project is called Graphite. But I'm not sure about the current
status.
