He once tried to make sfall compatible to Traditional Chinese FO2 exe for translating RP 2.x and other mods depending on sfall, but the result didn't go well.

Now he's working on another way: hacking/"re-localizing" US 1.02d exe to display Chinese characters, so that people can just use debugging ver. sfall with ExtraCRC option. The current progress he posted on a Chinese Fallout fourm looks much more promising than the previous sfall porting attempt. But there were still some display issues, mostly related to an infamous (for Chinese programmers) problem: because Traditional Chinese charset (Big5 encoding) is double-byte, some chars ended with certain ASCII codes (like 7D here, right curly bracket, }) will be misinterpreted in ANSI environment and cause problems. A pretty common issue in early days for localizing programs to Traditional Chinese.

From his Google+, I think he just tried to say the problem has been solved. Don't know why he posted it here though.
