Silkroad Online Forums

Here is a guide for displaying your scrambled, weird lettered and numbered Silkroad to Chinese. This is FOR VISTA ONLY, GO TO InserName's guide for XP Version.

I have included Step-By-Step including pictures to do this. I have also included a little neat tool bar that enables you to translate your english to chinese INGAME.

Let's get started, at first your launcer and ingame text is with all weird things, as you can see:

Yuck huh?

FIRST STEP- Start/Control Panel


SECOND STEP- Click on Clock, Language, and Region


THIRD STEP- Click on Regional and Language Options


FOURTH STEP- Click on Administrative Tab


FIFTH STEP- Click on Change System Locale Button


SIXTH STEP- Click on the Drop Arrow


SEVENTH STEP- Click on Chinese (PRC)


EIGHTH STEP- Click Ok and it will Prompt you to Restart, Click Restart


After you restart and start the Silkroad Launcher, Wallah, IN CHINESE!


This is the second part of this guide, translating your english text in-game to chinese text.

FIRST STEP- In the Regional Language Options You Went Previously, Click The Keyboard and Languages TAB


SECOND STEP- New Window Will Come Up, Under the General TAB, Click on the Add Button


THIRD STEP- Find Chinese (PRC) and Click on the + Sign


FOURTH STEP- Check Mark BOTH the Chinese (Simplified) Microsoft Pinyin IME AND Chinese (Simplified) US Keyboard


FIFTH STEP- Now that you have that tool bar installed, it should be at the lower right side of your tool bar.


SIXTH STEP- Now, In-game if you want to type something out in Chinese(this is why I prefer playing SRO in Windows Mode, Much More CONVENIENT) Click on the EN button and select the Chinese (PRC). While you type out something the Chinese Tool bar will pop out a little thing that has the translation for what you are typing.


SEVENTH STEP- When done typing any word, simply PRESS SPACE BAR and it will translate AUTOMATICALLY


I hope you have enjoyed this guide!

Nice guide, I'll add it to stickies

Is there a way to translate from Chinese? I dont use Vista but you know it would come up.

Unfortunately, I too am trying to solve that. I am not even sure if a program exists but I will keep looking and inform you guys.

does the translator work for xp? when i type english will it come out as chinese?
there is no possible program (if there is, you will get massive lag) to translate chinese input in real time as it being imput

btw, testing in chinese is 测试 on google translator

could this method be used too type your name in chinese for the csro registration? if not then does someone knows how?

maybe it can as it can translate english to chinese as you type
but the translator can sometimes give bad results

btw, the IME i use is QuanPing i type a chinese character ping ying and it gives me several choices of characters that has the same ping ying

The translator has many different versions of the word you can use, if the people don't understand, use a different version or as Insert said, Add the Quanping one.

the "translator" isn't an actually translator

it only gives chinese words pronounced like "testing" such as te s ting 特撒听 it makes no sense (on google translator it means tesa hearing)
