I bet most of people know how to display Korean and other languages with Windows XP series.
But there are still lots of people who don't know the greateness of the best program ever made in the Earth *cough..
I will go over step by step with pictures. After reading this you will see beautiful Korean characters in Battle Net instead of broken symbols.
Is this what you see when you join Battle Net channel?
Or this?
1. First, open Control Panel then click Date, Time, Languages, and Regional Option as picture above
2a. Click Languages tab (2nd one) and click Install files for Eastern Asian languages. This enables to you read and type most of Eastern Asian languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai etc..
Windows XP may install some files for Eastern languages and ask you to restart. If so restart the Windows.
2b. If you already installed Eastern Asian Languages (check mark shows up and line fades out) go to Details.
3. Click Add
4a. You will see lots of languages, select Korean
4b. If you don't see Korean, that means you didn't install Eastern Lanauges properly. Go back to step2 and check if you installed Eastern Lanauges.
5. Now you added Korean. Click OK and close the window.
From now you can read and type Eastern Asian languages from internet web pages, but this doesn't solve BattleNet Korean font problem.
You will also see some broken charcters on windows status/top/bottm bar.
This program is famouse Korean Napster called Soribada. As you can see Korean fonts are displaying on main window, but there are some broekn ??? characters on menu bar.
Bottom tabs and status bar also contain broken characters.
6. Go back to Regional and Language option and click Advanced option.
7. Change ..match non-unicode character.. to Korean. You will be asked to restart the window, do so.
Now Korean lanauge will display correctly.
Korean is displayiong properly on menu bar window too.
And bottom tabs too.
Most of all..
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
A. This doesn't mean your windows will be changed to Korean windows. It just enables you to read Uni-code and non Uni-code Korean lanauges, thus you won't have any problem with using your windows.
B. You can add other languages by this method. Just go back to step3 and add others if you want to.
Hope this helps.

a) You're playing SC, so once the game gets going that shouldn't be *that* much of a problem, no? Unless it's a team game, then that sucks ;_;
b) It's probably because you're slow at downloading.
c) That's the case for any pub LT game --;;
d) T_T that sucks.

ok, how does it help me, since I cant read korean... well thanks for the help, probably the wannabe koreans will appreciate it

I believe the default combination is left ALT + SHIFT. If it's set in Korean mode, you can switch easily between inputting Korean and English by pressing the right ALT button. The ALT + SHIFT one changes the languages entirely. You can change the ALT + SHIFT hotkey to change the languages in Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options >> Languages TAB >> Details.

Well, mine is set for Chinese -_-
This is pretty basic knowledge, I'm suprised that some people still don't know this.
|
i think i am going to follow those instructions and stick in chinese  thx bard

I have the same problem. It works in broodwar offline like lan ect but not on bnet. Also I found out how to write korean charaters but since I dont know any words thats pretty useless.

ive done it ages ago but it fuks up other programs and makes them korean.
id rather just learn kongish which they know.
|
|
problem with this is that non-unicode characters can only be displayed for one language...pretty silly system microsoft have made here, it's either all the korean letters, or no extra (german) letters...

Not too hard to fix. I did it blindly going through menus:[
Also I think the extended Korean support is actually just adding a korean font for ingame/gamescreen text. Don't know if the people who see ????????? will see Korean after the patch.

Omg this sucks. Now I cannot write Ä, Ö, Ü and ß in bnet any more. Stupid Windows.
|
Hmm... can someone point me to a dl of the east asian language? would be great as i do not have a winxp cd it keeps asking me for -_-;
|
Sorry to revive this thread, but anyones knows where I can DL the support pack from internet ?, My windows XP cd, just got broken and I can't do anything T.T
|
anyone know how to do this for win98 ?????// T_T
|
I was wondering if anybody knows how to do a similar sort of thing to make korean text show up on a macintosh or if they know of programs like Hanstar that do that sort of thing.
|
wtf my backslash turned into a W with a line through it
|
What's the point of having korean text enabled if you can't read it?
|
What if you use Windows 98
|
to people getting different languages when they shouldn't:
Right-click on the icon near the time bar (arrowed) and change things from there.... specifically, after you right-click go to settings, and change the Default input language to English if it's set on another language... then other languages should still show up and your programs in English like they were 
Hope that helps
For XP only, sorry
|
bump sorry, i use windows 2000 and i do not have the windows cd. Is there any way at all I can read korean on bnet, help me please for the love of god
|
pictures not workign
|
sorry for bumping the thread.. does anyone know how to set this on a mac? thanks again!
|
Pictures still not working
|
Pictures dont work. And when I click on using eastern languages it wants an instalation cd of Windows which I dont have (I let it at home, I have Czech version and there is separate menus for date and time and for language/font settings, but the window with adding asian is the same. We got it seperate because 95%+ in Czech are Atheists)
|
sorry for bump, but is there a way to do this without the CD they keep asking me for?
|
I dont see the pictures anymore.... could u update this plz? thx alot~
|
Sorry to bump, but yea, the pictures would be nice.
I have a question though. I can see the Korean text in channels but not in game or in game lobbies. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need a Korean version of the game?
|
thanks a lot, but i cannot read or write korean, lol
|
it says if i wnat to use the existing source code and change that. i don't know what effects this will have on my comp but as someone above posted, it cuases problems with smileys. i like smiley's. and i can't get a windows cdrom, cause mines not authentic.
1) Anyone know what problems occur when changing the existing source code? 2) Is it reversible? 3) Is there an "online CDROM so that the code can be copied from that, instead of changing my existing souce code?

how do i get this to work for vista? any help is appreciated thanks
|
Sorry to bump this.
I just got win xp, and I did all the steps. I can see korean text just fine in the web and in battle.net, now thanks.
But I still cant type myself. I only seem to have korean (IME) that allows me to use on the browser and some text programs, but not in battle net.
How do I go about getting a korean keyboard that battle net supports? Thanks in advance
|
Bump this I can see korean in channels and selecting games, but not when im in game. It's all scribbles again. I have followed all the steps and is using vista.
