I have a friend in eastern europe and their english is elementary. To help
them I wanted to send the english e-mail so it can be read in Cyrillic. As
Dr. International mentioned. I went to Outlook Express
....Tools...Options...International settings...and clicked on the Cyrillac
option.

My question, what does this actually do? As I understand, it translates my
english version to russian when the e-mail is sent to europe. Is this correct?

Any help would be appreciated. Charlie

No, it does not translate English into Cyrillic, Charlie. (Cyrillic is not
a language, but an alphabet [font]...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_alphabet ...and an encoding format.)
What led you to understand that Cyrillic encoding would translate English
into your friend's native language?

Can you read and write in your friend's language? If so, see Paul
Gorodyanski's page

Outlook Express: if click on International settings PA Bear you get a list
from arabic to vietnamese to choose. If you click on one the box says:
default setting for outgoing messages. This lead me to believe it translates
your message to whatever is highlighted. Explain further what it does please.

Well, as regards your original question, it'd be easier to explain what
International encoding doesn't do: It doesn't translate messages. The
recipient will receive what you send but how he sees it when he goes to read
it depends on both the encoding you used and your International send
encoding.

Encoding is a rather complex and somewhat arcane topic, as is International
encoding settings for outgoing mail, neither of which are a particular
specialty of mine. See this page of Paul Gorodyanksi's regarding Cyrillic
fonts and encoding in Windows, for example:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...or/fonts_e.htm.

You might experiment with the different International encoding choices:
Select one, compose a brief message, copy the entire message to your
clipboard, then send yourself the email and take a look at how the message
appears when you open it. Then select another choice, paste the same
message into another new email and repeat.

I understand that Cyrillac is an alphabet. I sent a few e-mails to myself
with Cyrillac option (K018-U) selected which I assume is the Ukraine version.
The e-mails looks just like any english e-mail..no changes whatsoever.

Thanks for the feedback even though the topic reamins very arcane! I will
take a look at the compuserve homepage you linked. Why can't an e-mail
software translate emails? Is this too difficult for a software program?
Thanks, Charlie

Why can't an e-mail software translate emails?

There may be an Mail Client out there that can do so. I can guarantee you
that it won't be free.

Is this too difficult for a software program?

A literal translation (cf. http://babelfish.altavista.com/), no, not really.
A translation that makes sense and is grammatically, syntactically and
semantically correct? Yes, at least at this point. Maybe someone will come
with one in your lifetime (probably the same person who comes up with those
jet-packs we can strap on our backs and fly anywhere we want).
