2566.0. "Move from Kanji/English to English" by KYOSS1::ERICKSEN (Cindy Ericksen/DTN:323-4051) Wed Mar 12 1997 13:31

    Hi All!

    I have a question concerning mail exchange between a multi-language
    ALL-IN-1 system (v3.0b Kanji & English) in Japan and an English
    ALL-IN-1 system (v3.1) in the US.  As I've never had to deal with a
    multi-language system I'm not sure exactly how things work.  

    At my customer we have a situation where a user from Japan who is
    running TeamLinks on a Macintosh (English version, v2.1) over
    Appletalk and DECnet using both Kanji and English; he will shortly be
    moving to the US.  The customer allows for only 1 active email
    mailbox per user so I have to know how to handle the miration of his
    messages from the system in Japan to the local system.  I was
    thinking of drag-and-drop from his old mailbox to his new one but I
    don't know how the languages will be handled by the US system.

    Also, if a user has his language set to Kanji and sends a message to
    someone using the system in the US am I correct in assuming the
    original language of the message will be retained?  Can the user in
    the US view the message without a problem (the user here understands
    both languages).

    Thanks for your help and understanding!

    Cindy

	Unfortunately, the translated versions of ALL-IN-1 (and indeed most products!) don't do automatic language translation of message content, which would be a really neat feature! So, you'll have to make sure that your new system can display messages containing Kanji characters. I would think that the PC would need to be running a Kanji version of Windows.
