 ## note 1
 
-three languages are "special":
+the "LocaleSettings: ccjk" string is special. it allows you to define which character sets to load.
 
-- Polish (`pl`)
-- Portuguese (Brazil) (`pt_BR`)
-- Russian (`ru`)
+this is needed by a couple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
 
-LTVA and some other people have done translation work on a fork of Furnace to these three languages, but instead of using gettext, they have deployed a custom gettext-like solution.
+the letters after LocaleSettings mean, in the following order: Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Japanese and Korean. if any of these is in caps, the corresponding character set will be loaded.
 
-I will be porting these translations from the fork to upstream Furnace, but if you want to help, here are the translation files for these languages: `https://github.com/LTVA1/furnace/tree/master/src/locale`
-
-thanks LTVA and everyone else for pioneering language support in Furnace!

-## note 2
-
-I also speak Spanish, which means I will be working on the Spanish translation.
-however, you can work on it too in order to get it done faster. let me know though.
-
-## note 3
-
-If you're translating ja ko zh_ , you need to make sure the 'LocaleSettings:' string in .po file set properly to enable the character set.
-
-default LocaleSettings: ccjk
+some values include:
 
+```
 zh_CN: Ccjk
 zh_HK: cCjk
 ja_JP: ccJk
 ko_KR: ccjK
+```
+
+you can load other character ranges by defining them next to the "ccjk" part. for example:
+
+```
+LocaleSettings: ccjk 1000-107F 1100-107F
+```
+
+each range is in the format FROM-TO, where FROM and TO are hexadecimal values.
+if you just want to load one particular character, you still have to specify both FROM and TO. for example 1000-1000.
