maybe you need language packs installed for soldat to display the text correctly?

Maybe using a different font. For the menus, it won't work ever, but ingame, it might. Go to \Soldat\Txt\font.ini to change the fonts to something with foreign characters.

Soldat only allows for ASCII characters, which only fully support the English alphabet. To use asian characters (or european characters with accents), you would need to use a different charset, which Michal is not currently prepared to do.

This is an old topic. Translation to Chinese will soon be possible with the release of Soldat 1.4. Please see this topic for further discussion.
