Insert Russian Language MediaLab Questions and Answers

[eve26]

Hi there,
I have used the tricks given on the second website to type in Russian characters in the Experiment Editor. It worked fine so that's great. However when I run through the questionnaire the RANKING QUESTION type doesn't take the characters well (see print screen attached).
Can you help to fix that?
Have you done any progress on the substitute file also for the cyrillic characters?
Finally, is there any chance you could send me all the graphics ("continue", etc..) in Russian language? Thank you.

Dear Eve,

Did you ever find a resolution for this? I'm very happy to hear you were able to get the Russian text to appear correctly in the editor--which trick(s) made that possible? I'm especially curious in case other users run into the same problem. The new editor I am working on for the 2012 version will be unicode compatible and so should have this resolved (i.e., so no tricks will be necessary).

As far as the ranking question goes--is it primarily the labels that you are having issues with? Does the Russian text work ok for the other other item types? If so, please attach the latest version of the que file and I'll see if I can modify the labels in the ranking item to allow for the text. As for the continue, go back and instruction labels, I can make these in Russian for you no problem. Can you send me graphics and or text showing me what they should look like? e.g., in a Word Document and/or a screen shot. Both would be ideal!
