You probably need the Chinese language file that goes into content\languages. Sorry I don't have it.

If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Please do NOT post any thanks. Simply press the hand icon with the "thumb up" which is the thank you button.

The problem is the character set. iGO uses Tahoma and TahomaBd, in these character sets the chinese characters are not included.
You have to look for a set (ttf) with chinese characters, rename this sets to Tahoma and replace in the the igo directory.
