Flam, It did have the Chinese and Japanese translations, but on my browser it just came out as boxes and I feared it would prove untranslatable when I highlighted and pasted it. So, I just deleted it.

Katy, that's quite all right because I could follow your URL to the original page. My PC would not have been sold in Asia, if it had been unable to read Chinese and Japanese. Good luck with re-re-reconfiguring your PC so as to read Asian!

Flam, I figured if my pc didn't translate from Japanese why should it translate properly to Japanese. And no offense I rather doubt that I'll reconfigure my pc, I can get characters on a website that translates as an image, My fonts are not compatable, but since I don't speak either Chinese or Japanese, why do I need to view characters as fonts? I was amazed I got the Arabic tho'.
