Jade Project is a patch that let your EverQuest II supports displaying CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters. With Jade, you can display CJK characters in EQ2 without setting up your Windows.
Because EverQuest II lacks CJK character font, without doing special settings. EQ2 will convert these East Asian Languages into some weird boxes. Jade can't let you understanding foreign languages, but personally, I'll rather to read the origin characters, but not some weird boxes.
You can find the download in

Please feel free to post suggestions, bug report, feedbacks and etc. Any word would be benefic for this project are welcomed.
