Umbraco advertise it is of multilingual, but in fact , it doesn't deal with the Chinese character well, the output compositions both in front-end and back-end are ganbled characters. Can you help? Thanks for attention!
I've created Umbraco sites in Japanese (which is essentially the same character set), without problems.
If the text is showing as squares and random characters, it usually means that you don't have the language support for that character set installed on your OS (Windows doesn't install it by default, as the files are quite large due to the size of the font sets).
If the site is viewable publicly, post a link here and I'll check it from my machine, as I have all the far eastern character sets installed. If it works ok for me, it'll definately be the language support.
How to make Umbraco supports Chinese encoding?

Ganbled characters should be read as garbled characters. I am sorry for the typo.
Do you use UTF8 encoding in web.config?
It is possible, I should think. Hasselblad has a site in japanese:

Could it be related to the font or something?

It could also be the database, if you haven't got it set to use UTF8.

I know the reason that concerns, it is Mysql causes the mistake. When I use Sqlserver and VistaDB instead, the bug disappeared.
