Traditional Chinese works

Traditional Chinese Big 5 HKSCS works with syncs between a PalmOS 5.2 Clie and Addressbook, iCal via iSync, as well as with the standard conduits for Palm Desktop 4.2.1. The developer is extremely helpful and responsive in resolving a minor installation issue, which in turn was probably due to a workaround for the buggy Palm Desktop installer. Remaining missing custom fields problem lies with iSync's poor Palm conduit implementation. I would have preferred a true shareware approach, or at least a fully functional trial period, but the price is low enough to warrant a bet which turned out fruitful.

The author is correct. The sorting issue was not caused by PES but Palm OS/CJKOS related...

The sorting problem reported by "whytoi", is not caused by "Palm Encoding Setup". Sorting on Palm OS is only controlled by the Palm OS localization, CJKOS in this case. I'd recomend contacting its author.

Works for Simplified Chinese

I felt comfortable with the author's commitment to this software and decided to be a guinea pig after a prompt and thorough email reply from the author. Paid on Kagi and received a SN immediately. Installed the software, activated and saved for Simplified Chinese encoding. As the number of Address Book contacts with Chinese were already in the form <String unprintable> and likely have already "screwed", I just went ahead with a Hotsync without setting for overwritting in any direction. Well, it worked. Chinese characters in a number of my entries displayed properly on the Palm and Mac. I then tested Chinese character entries on either side and the transfers in either direction were also successful through further Hotsyncs. Despite the very short period of ownership and testing (1 hours and 4 Hotsyncs), I am very happy to see this iSync encoding problem finally solved by this software!
The only curious issue is the alphabetical ordering of contact entries in my Palm's addressbook. Those with Chinese characters (in "note" fields) are no longer in regular English alphabetical order by Surname. Kinda odd that the search function in my Palm's addressbook would not recongize those modified entries. But I'll need to further investigate this issue.
My setup:
OS X 10.3.5 (PB G4 12")
iSync (1.5 v139)
Apple Addressbook (Chinese entries in the Note fields only, otherwise in English)
Mark Space MissingSync 4.0.2b3
Palm Tungsten T2 (OS 5.2.1)
CJKOS 4.61 (Simplified Chinese GB2312 encoding)
