I think that Chinese font isn't installed on system.  After you install Chinese font, does this work well?

Hi Makoto, yes I have a Chinese font installed. I can see the font works if I select it in Wordpad. I still cannot see the font if I apply Chinese Traditional or Simplified in Google Translate. Fails in Firefox and Chrome browsers. Please see attached screenshot, working fine in Firefox on Windows 10 but fails for Windows XP.
