[sword-devel] Problem in Chinese SWORD module

[Chris Little]

I'll take care of it. The source docs don't exhibit this problem (and 
have since been updated as well).

It looks like this probably comes down to a bad traditional to 
simplified conversion, since the text exhibits no problems in the 
traditional version (which is the basis for the simplified).

If anyone has a good method of converting from traditional Chinese to 
simplified, I would appreciate suggestions. (No web converters please. I 
need something that can take a 3 meg or so file.) I'm loathe to try 
loading the Big5 text in Word or such and saving it again as GB, but if 
anyone knows that to be a reasonable route, I can.
