For viewing in Internet Explorer browser, the problem would be universal for displaying all Chinese characters on your browser.

You can test this by going to http://cn.yahoo.com or http://tw.yahoo.com . If the browser looks like the following Internet Explorer picture, then you have to select the language preference.

Follow the simple steps:

  • 1. Just click on View on the Menu
  • 2. Navigate to Encoding
  • 3. On the computers that do not display Chinese properly, you have to click on More and select Chinese Simplified.
  • 4. If you don��t have the language pack downloaded, Internet Explorer will prompt you to download or insert your Windows disk. Just follow the direction.
