Chinese version

Hello! I found out this great tool and really enjoy it.
There are 10 language translations in 1.0.2 version. However, Chinese language is not one of them. I am from Taiwan. Is it possible to add Chinese language easily? I would like to help if someone can tell me what to do.
The scratch can 'say Hello' in English, but I was not able to enter Chinese character into the field. Strange characters appears in the text-field. I hope scratch can accept Chinese characters as input string in the next version release. I am not familiar with Squeak. But I have some basic knowledge with Java. It would be great if some ODE code can be embed into scratch, so that user can enter mass, force (as vector) or some other interaction, and object(sprite) will move according to physics laws. This will make scratch even more valuable for physics educations.

Re: Chinese version

Thanks for your feedback. Currently Scratch only accepts latin characters. This summer we will be working on internationalization.

Re: Chinese version

Tuco, unfortunately accents do not work on the web version yet.
