The convention in most Chinese programs appears to be having the key you
need to press in brackets after the characters.

Except that the only people who can read pinyin at all well already speak
English...

It appears not, at least on Win98 - the only Chinese 2k (or XP) machines =
I
know of are in Guilin.

The translated messages are missing entirely,

test.svx:3: : Closing prefix omitted from END
and similarly a blank line instead of 'Done.'

> "Close" button in the "Help->About..." box in aven

All are completely blank.

I can't test the printing stuff without using time I don't have at the
moment (plus I have to pay 10p a page...)
