MORE INFORMATION

Apple Computer produces the following two Chinese language kits for the Macintosh:

  • Simplified Chinese Language Kit version 1.1
  • Traditional Chinese Language Kit version 1.1

As of May 1997, there is a Chinese Language Kit Updater disk that updates both language kits to version 1.1.1, and a WorldScript Updater disk that updates WorldScript technology to version 1.1.
