Hello, I'm a Japanese-English translator just starting to use
Intelliwebsearch. I'm having some encoding problems and wondered if
there were any other Japanese or Chinese users with similar problems.

Firstly, on sites such as Google and Wikipedia, where the URL ends
with the search string, the searches work fine with Japanese, but on
J-E dictionaries where the URL continues after the search string
(for example www.alc.co.jp), the Japanese gets scrambled (though
these sites are fine with English). I'm not an expert on encoding,
but this seems to be an issue with the escape sequence, because if I
include a space after the Japanese when I copy it into the search
window, the Japanese arrives at the dictionary intact (but the
search itself fails because of this space).

The other problem is with the search settings. I can input the
Japanese necessary to limit google's search to Japanese glossaries,
but when I hit 'save and close' and then reopen it, the Japanese has
become scrambled, and is similarly scrambled in Google when I do a
search.

Anyway, I would be interested to hear if these are common problems,
otherwise perhaps there is some idiosyncracy I'm not aware of with
the language settings on my computer.

Thanks,
