Long shot - does any read chinese?

I know that this is a long shot, but does anyone in here read chinese. A friend of mine bought Half life 2 from Bejing.

First of all the manual and installation is in chinese. I managed to install the game. But the key is not valid. So either the game is some kind of piracy software or one has todo something special :slight_smile:

Anyway if anyone could help me i would grately appriciate it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I can read Chinese to an extent but I wonโ€™t be able to understand anything past โ€œNi Haoโ€.

If you want to know why your key isnโ€™t working you might try contacting Valve, or tell us the message you are receiving.

Thanks anyway. Thanks to babelfish I translated their webpage. Seems like I have to send in the key in the package to retrive the real key. Lets see if they will send it to me. Othervise its just wasted monye
