anyone know how
 

does anyone know how to get language support for ICQ? I am trying to chat with some people who speak russian but when i put in the text (copy and pasted from a translation site... yes i know they suck) ICQ just draws a bunch of bars. It says it can do multi-lingual support, but right now my XP box does support it

You could try searching for an ICQ add on? Just a thought.

Thanks Ronnie, I did actually try searching through the ICQ pages for help on this. No luck, but they did try to sell me a lot of different translating software heh heh|banghead|

I've never looked into add on's for ICQ, would have thought there would be plenty. Might be third party ones you could find on other sites, maybe try G if you have'nt.

Kinda of surprizing, as long as ICQ has been around, seems to me it was the first one, least the first instant messenger I used.

Ronnie, they will support russian but only if your computer has it installed or something like that. I went to 'Multi-lingual support' drop down menu of the program and the only option it has for me in there is English (united States)
so i guess right now my XP box doesn't support Ukraine Russian heh heh go figure... I tried to find a language pack for it from microsoft... searched for a few hours couldnt find one :(
