Non-English file name between CentOS and Windows
 

Hi,

I got a language displaying problem with non-english (which is Korean in my case) when I transfer file from my CentOS VPS to my computer (Windows Vista).

Please see the attachment if you don't get what I mean.

The problem is not clearly stated. Is it a case of one OS not displaying the Korean characters, but funny-looking symbols instead? Or do you mean you want the file names displayed in a language other than Korean?

The file was renamed in Linux, but when brought it to Windows. Can't read, display funny-looking symbols as you described.

Then the OS that cannot display the language does not have that language enabled. With a Linux system, it is simply a matter of adding a locale, but I have no idea what the procedure is for Windows.

You need to enable Korean language and fonts on the Windows machine. I've forgotten exactly how to do that, and my last Windows experience was on XP, years ago, so it has probably changed anyway. However it's done, you'll need to do that.

I don't think something need to be done in Windows because it can displays Korean well so far. Btw, I'm a long-time Windows user and a Linux newbie.

So it is your Linux system that cannot display Korean? In that case, you must add Korean to your locales. If you also want to input Korean, you will need to install Ibus or SCIM, including packages for input methods. In this case, one or more Korean input methods.

You can check file language by simply copying the file text and insert in google translate. Identify the language and install that in your PC.

The OP knows what language it is. He speaks it. Did you read the initial post?
