But a .mobi created by Amazon or Mobipocket the field is set to 0x0404 correctly for Traditional Chinese (zh-tw), or 0x0804 for Simplified Chinese (zh-cn).
I have tried to make Calibre output the correct locale and it works! Try add a metadata <dc:language>zh-tw</dc:language> to the epub file then convert again. |
Kanru, thank you for the very important elucidation. Would you please specify how to add the locale field in Calibre for mobi?
Say, If I have a text file, I need to convert it into a mobi with the correct locale metadata, do I have to convert it to ePub first? Where can I specify the locale line <dc:language>zh-tw</dc:language>?
Thank you.
