I've successfully added a number of files to Pleco on iPod and on iPad, but every time I get tied up in knots.
I have Macs with Windows on them for work.
Today I wanted the script of the film A Simple Life (Tao Jie) in Mandarin. At shooter.cn I found several files. I downloaded one called Blu-Ray as a rar file but I have forgotten how I open them. I assume I need a separate program on Mac or Windows. Anyway, I seem to have opened it and the file opened correctly in Microsoft Word, calling itself Simplified Chinese GB2312. I have saved it as a txt file and a docx file. But as far as I remember, I need UTF-8 for Pleco. Is that right? I can't seem to convert it.
I'd be extremely grateful for anything to help me improve my procedure. Perhaps I simply chose the wrong file at shooter.cn - I know I can get subtitles there, in fact some months ago I got the files for the Taste of China food films, but I never know which file is which.
