Text Viewer/Editor for Multiple Languages

[flash23]

Guys, I am in a rough spot over here.

Some of the files(mostly .C files) that I need to view have their documentation in languages other than English like Chinese, Japanese and Russian. When I open these files through Notepad or Wordpad it comes out gibberish, but when I view it through MS Word it comes out partially.

I need an app preferably lightweight through which I can see the actual text. I will be then using Google translate to translate them to English.

ps- I have attached a sample file which contains some text in Chinese.

pps- I have tried Babel Pad app but it works same as Notepad.

Notepad and wordpad should work for you, as they have full unicode support. see if the font is installed.

Notepad++. I use it as default text editor. Works with almost every language out there.

#vivek.krishnan do I need install the fonts separately? Since its opening in MS Word I guess the system already has those fonts.

#Rahul++ tried notepad++giving the same result as notepad's. Am I missing something here.

Can you please try out the file I have attached in the first post. its a C file

Yes it works. Open the file with Notepad++ -> Go to Encoding (Top Nav Bar) -> Character Sets -> Chinese -> Simplified or Traditional. You will see those Chinese characters.
