For me -ass flag did not work, at least not for a particular .mkv video with
embedded subtitles.
But when I followed the advice in http://www.helpsworld.org/blog/?p=434, and
run mplayer with
"LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf-8" environment set, I got Chinese subtitles (both
traditional and simplified
Chinese) perfectly working.
(You could have alias
alias zh-mplayer='LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf-8 /usr/bin/mplayer'
to use if you do not want to set LC_CTYPE permanently.)
