I went through the translation process a couple of days ago - but could not get it to work, because of a missing file. (My assumption is that I have a complete installation - in either XP or 2000) The process consists of highlighting the text section, going to the Tool Menu and asking for Chinese Translation. At that point there is a choice for traditional -> to simplified and simplified -> traditional. When asking for the translation the feedback is "missing file..." Has anybody solved this problem? As to some explanations about traditional and simplified writing: there is a very clearly written article in the last issue of Multilingual. Otmar
