  • Best way to translate Chinese?

    Hi everyone. I ordered a product from the internet and it arrived yesterday. It came with an instruction manual, but it's all in Chinese. I have tried to use google translator, but I don't know how to type the Chinese characters that appear in the manual.

    I tried to install Chinese simplified on windows so I can type, but I don't know what character sequence on the keyboard makes the symbol I want to appear.

    I have a scanner, but I don't think an image can be decoded to text unless one of you knows an OCR program that will do this.

    My last resort was to go to the chinese restaurant I order from once a week and ask for help.

    I'm particularily worried about the section with big !!! caution symbols, like if you don't follow this exactly, you will break it.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks everyone in advance.

  • Translate chinese instructions?

    Hi everyone. I ordered an engine from the internet and it arrived yesterday. It came with an instruction manual, but it's all in Chinese. I have tried to use google translator, but I don't know how to type the Chinese characters in the manual.

    I also installed Chinese simplified on windows so I can type, but I don't know what character sequence on the keyboard makes the symbol I want to appear.

    I have a scanner, but I don't think an image can be decoded to text unless one of you knows an OCR program that will do this.

    My last resort was to go to the chinese restaurant I order from once a week and ask for help.

    I'm particularily worried about the section with big !!! caution symbols, like if you don't follow this exactly, you will blow up the engine.

    Any suggestions on how I might learn to do this myself?

    Thanks,

    Terry
