1. I justed installed latest version Gaim Portable on my external HD. When I tried to IM with a Chinese version of MSN messenger, I had problems with Gaim portable on my Win XP Notebook machine.
1. I couldn't input characters like ",", "?", or ".", have to switch to English input to get these characters in.
2. After I input a Chinese sentence, "Enter" didn't work at all, I couldn't sent any messenger with "Enter", I have to switch back to English input mode to use "Enter" to send messenges.
3. After I sent, the chinese characters became english or unreadable characters on the other side in MNS messenger.
4. These problems exist in both English and Chinese Version of Gaim portable.
5. But with a English version of MSN messenger on my side, I have not problem at all to IM with my friends.
Thanks for your attention,
Alloster

Alloster,
yes, i've got this problem, too!
but, i think it appear in Gaim, i mean just Gaim has this problem. so it's not the Portable Edition's fault.
i suggest you try Microsoft Pinyin Input Method.
when a Chinese sentence is done, you can input any symbols like "," "?" "." and so on by using M$ PY input method.
say again, i think this problem exist in any Gaim.(i haven't try Gaim
)

Liu Yu, thanks for your reply.
I was thinking to use the Gaim Portable (use it at office machine or library machine in addition to home machine) to do IM with my friends and relatives in China. It seems that I have to go back to use MSN and/or Y!.
In addition, I even had problem to do IM with Gtalk, especially when I turned OTR on. Then Gaim Portable is useless to me now.
By the way, I checked out your homepage, pretty good.
