ltla9000311,
I'm JackSparrow over on PPX.
I haven't had too much trouble posting or downloading. I keep Google translator open in another window and copy and paste back and forth. Google seems to work pretty well with Chinese, although I usually retranslate my translation back to English just to make sure it sounds right. If not I simplify it and try again.
Keep at it, it becomes easier in time. I've been there about a year now. I can't read Chinese, but you begin to recognize people and threads that you are interested in. I found that if your interest is Gundam, you need to frequent the Asian forums, Chinese and Korean.

PS I use Firefox browser and there is a plug-in called FoxLingo that makes world translation as easy as a pull down menu.:thumb:
