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

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
