Multiple language support in Firefox

Currently I get what looks like blocks of hex in firefox when trying to display chinese and japanese web pages. What do I need to install for these languages to be installed properly?

I want to cut and paste from babelfish so I'll need the klipper tool to recognize the characters too.

Thanks

No one has any info on the topic?

No idea.

It may be distribution-specific, too...

Sorry, I don't know. I've done some searching around the 'net for an answer and came up empty. Sad

I deal with Russian Characters all the time. If I get pages that are not displayed correctly, I go to view->encoding->Cyrillic and play around trying different things. There should be japanese and chinese there too.

Edit: I just went to the Japanese google and played around and I was able to get heirogliphs looking normally. You should be able to copy and paste too.

I hope I understood your question right.

I went to slashdot.jp before I answered. Very Happy

It came up fine with Ubuntu.

What distro are you running, purefinity?
