Dwight,

In order to see the Korean text in the Online Scriptures you will need to make sure that the Korean language set is installed on your Windows machine. You will then need to make sure UTF-8 is enabled in your browser. Here’s your steps:

To install the Korean language set in Windows XP click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options. Click on the Language Tab, click on Install files for East Asian Languages, click OK. You may need to insert your Windows XP disk while it installs. Reboot your machine.

In IE8 click on View, Encoding and select UTF-8. Select the Language in IE8 (you shouldn’t have to do this but give it a try) click Tools, On the General Tab click Languages, Click Add, Select Korean (Ko-KR). Make sure that it is not at the top of the list or every website you go to will be in Korean.

If these steps do not work then I’m not sure what’s going on.

Here are the instructions for enabling UTF8 encoding in Firefox.

1) Set your browser to recognize Korean language internet sites.
* FireFox Users: Under “Tools – Options – Languages” on your browser’s menu-bar add Korean KO) to the languages list, put it at the bottom if your primary language is not Korean.
* IE6 users: Under Tools – Options – General Tab – Languages, add Korean (KO) to the language list.

2) Set your browser’s “Character Set” or “Encoding” to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).

* English pages will generally continue to display normally after making this change.
* Encoding settings can be changed under the “View” option in your browser’s menu-bar.

3) If Korean text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
* Click on Start, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, click the languages tab and select “Install files for East Asian languages”.
* Restart Windows and make sure your browsers encoding is set to UTF8.

This should enable Korean characters to display in your browser.

Hope This Helps.

When I go to http://scriptures.lds.org/ko/
the korea on the right side of the page does not display correctly.

What do I have to install in my XP operating system to fully support the Korean character set?

Thank you

It might be worth mentioning that this is a newer Korean translation of the Book of Mormon than the original one.
