It seems the

;debugOn
~changeLocale zh-cn
;debugOff
is the only valid way to make Kindle 3 display Chinese properly, regardless of the locale settings of the mobi file itself. I even tried use HEX editor to change the 0x0009 to 0x0804, didn't help. |
I was wrong. I made a mistake while testing the Mobi Creator Publisher Edition v4.2. Actually, if everything is done right (filling in the right language and encoding, and click the
Update button), the resultant prc file will have the correct locale information, and it will be correctly displayed in Kindle 3, even the device default locale is set to
us-en.
The first time, I was testing the Mobipocket Creator in the middle of night, my brain must have been frazzled then.
Sorry for my mis-information in my previous post. So Kanru is right, if the locale is set correct in the mobi file, the device will display Chinese correctly, even the device's default locale is not Chinese.
