In English or Chinese or Japanese?

Post by Golfygirl »

When I write into this forum, I write it in english.
Does someone in China see it as english or does
their computer convert the writing to their
language?

Just curious. :)

Why should Chinese members see the text in another language? :?

I agree, they could not understand if it wasn't in their language. Thats why I asked. I wanted to know for sure if they were able to read what I write. Thats all :) I think the question came about when I was trying to help someone in China.
Thanks for asking me to explain. Because, I certainly did not intend to offend. Ok? :)

I think it would be if they had the translation software installed. Otherwise, they see the words in English like we do.
