Hello.
I need to translate some short phrases from Engish into Thai and then
trace them before ultimately working my way to HTML. Some of that is beyond the scope of Pagestream, but the first step is getting Thai into Pagestream (hopefully from a cut and paste from Google Translate). From there, a hi-res bitmap output is the next step. I see a lot of talk about Locales but I don't want to convert Pagestream into a Thai DTP; I just want to print some of the words.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just one suggestion. Use a ScreenCapture or ScreenGrab program to
capture the Thai phrases from Translate as .jpegs, Do the English parts
in PageStream and import the .jpegs into the appropriate places in the
PageStream document, resizing them as needed.

Are you aware that you can print to a bitmap?
So if you got the text (and Thai font) or arrange the Thai screen grabs
in PGS:
in Print Setup change Printer: from what you have into <Bitmap File>.

Hi Chuck,

You could always just download and install a thai font.

a quick google gave me this, it may help.
