Re: Other languages is not support

First of all, this is not a language issue but character encoding issue.  What you are seeing is that the characters in the dataset are in a different encoding from what Statistics is set to use.

The easiest solution is to switch to Unicode mode.  You can do this in Edit>Options>Unicode or running SET UNICODE ON.

If the dataset was written with Statistics 15 or later, it will contain information about the character encoding and will convert it correct.

If the dataset is older, you need to set your Statistics locale to the appropriate Chinese locale before opening the dataset.
