Hi,

We are having difficulty porting an exitsing J2ME Midlet to Chinese and I
wonder if anyobody has been through this before. we need to transalte the
app for nokia Series 40 and Series 60.

Initial problem is that when the following is the code fragment that I made
a little change. "english text" is changed to "aaa{a chinese charactor}bbb".
When I start the emulator and run the midlet, that place only display
"aaabbb", no chinese charactor, even no space.
Then we saw that according to message on Nokia bulletin board:" if you want
to include Chinese characters in jad and manifest files, you must use utf-8
encoding schema. Actually the localization work for S40 and S60 are same,
but please note that currently the S60 phones don't support to download java
applicstion via OTA if the java application including Chinese characters."

Also seems that Nokia S60 emulators don't support display Chinese
characters. But the 7210 emulator should support display Chinese provided
you config the language setting correctly.

 However we don't know how to apply UTF-8 encoding schema as the above said,
any ideas?

Thanks indeed for any hlp.
