Hoi ron,

Thanks for sharing your experience.

>>>I have worked with TwinBridge/ChinaStar etc. They work fine to a certain point but one way or the other you will be confronted with the downsides.

>>Like? I need to now the downsides and possible workarrounds..
>
>Problems:
>- you can't show more than one (TB) language at a time
>- if TB is active normal English may show surprising results (the Degree symbol) is transformed by TB which may cause some headaches (it did for us)
>- you must purchase additional licences for TB for all users
>- if you users are in China they may be using a localized version of Windows. They, therefor do not need TB but I'm not sure if Chinese windows and English windows/TB show the same results
>- you must be sure that the user is using the proper TB language module. IF not the Chinese may look Chinese to you and me but it's not Chinese for a person who can read it.....
>
>Having done this we have come to the conclusion with TB would not work for us (we need multiple languages on a label). We have now translated all our 'phrases' with RTF. Our print engine is now cause for some headaches but I'm sure the supplier will solve this in the end (we using Virtual Print Engine from Idealsoftware.com)


Maybe Crystal Reports is a solution for you. It supports RTF interpretation of textfields.
