I have been asked several times by friends on email and locally, how my
translation offices manages to work in German, French, etc. inside Chinese
Windows. Generally, we use two different approaches on our 16 486-machines:

1) Edit the win.ini file
Look for the line ANSI(00)=Yes in the segment [Associated...] and change
it to ANSI(00)=No. Thus no English (i.e. incl. high bit character set)
will be changed to Chinese characters.

2) Use a Highbit font
We have produced several SYMBOL-truetype fonts by editing their header
with FONTMONSTER, a shareware program from Leaping Lizards, Taiwan.
Changing the typeto Symbol in the upper left corner of the header editing
page results in Chinese windows not substituting the high bits with
Chinese, if you leave the [Associated..] section of win.ini unchanged.

Word for Windows Chinese 5.0 is about to be launched.
