Viewing Chinese Japanese Korean Webpages when using Windows

Since I have installed the global translator plugin I want to be able to view the chinese entries rendered it would normally meant to be seen. To do this I need to enable the rendering of the character set.  This is my webpage where I note the various things I find.  No working solution yet! 

Viewing Chinese Webpages when using OS= Windows with Windows Explorer

Both of the major browsers can support Chinese without any other programs. All you need is the right font, and there are many good free fonts you can download. The best method is to download Microsoft's language packs and input methods for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs)  – This pack is "free" if you have a qualifying microsoft office product.

Popeye the Sayler Man

The origin of Saler man is when I was talking to a Brazilian friend whose English is very good if you consider he has never been to an English speaking country.  He tried to say a person was a salesman.  "He is a Saylor-Man" was how it came out.  Ever since then I call salesmen sailor men. On a side note we were driving down a highway in Brazil and we drove past an attractive young lady selling her body to people by the side of the highway.  He saw here and said "she's a road horse"…which was pretty funny considering we'd just driving past some horses tied up in such a fashion as to clip the grass while eating it.

The Dream Team Prayer

Strive to be your Best No Matter How funny it turns out Especially if you are a comedian. A little thing like a post-it note can go by unnoticed very easily. It's easy to over look. Just another another flake of snow in a flurry of paper that swirls all 'round us in this way we live. But then there is the Dream Team Prayer. I found in on this post-it note while working at a Phoenix area satellite modem company. It was originally posted on a satellite modem or RF module after being repaired. This post-it note is full of the aspirations of survival. How else could making an electronic module function as engineering intended it to induce such euphoria as this note implicates? He was obviously in a fight to the death. With so many compromises in life, survival and hope are the biggest parts of the battle. And so I've kept this note in my desk for these years and its come to appear to me as a prayer. The dream team prayer yields its effect through the hilarious use of language which very effectively counterpoints the sheer relief of getting past yet another snag. ( Please note: I'm sure this man speaks English far better than I'll ever speak his language…whatever it is )

Please note the key magic phrase of the note: "Sucks one" And now a moment of silence and laughter:

The Dream Team Prayer : as originally posted on some electronic module undergoing repair after initial manufacture
