Can you test the attached module via LoadingTestModules ?

I am unable to enter chinese characters (nor confirm if the ones being shown when I load your image are correct) so I need you to confirm. Also, does the radio have english/chinese mode for the display/entry that we need to honor?

Note that this only works for the affected driver, not any other drivers in chirp (as the fix is driver-specific).

I tested and loaded the Radtel_rt490.py module file you gave me. Downloading 8RS data was normally, and the Chinese display of the channel name was also normally. However, modifying one of the channel names could not be retained in the table, and the channel name table became blank. Upload this modified IMG file to 8RS. The modified channel name is displayed as "unnamed" in 8RS, and the channel name without modification is displayed normally after uploading.
In other words, after reading 8RS. The Chinese channel name is displayed normally in CHIRP. After uploading 8RS without modification, the channel name is displayed normally. If the channel name is modified in CHIRP. CHIRP cannot save the entered Chinese name, and the relevant table becomes "blank". If the modified Chinese name can be saved, I think the problem is solved.
I can't submit an update through CHIRP. The prompt is as follows. I have taken a screenshot and saved it. So I logged in to the website to submit it.
The 8RS can change the interface language. You can switch between the Chinese and English interfaces at will, but you need to the software . I think the rt-490 should do the same.
Thank you very much, your response efficiency is too high. It surprises me. Thank you again for your help.

One more thing to add, by comparing the IMG files read by CHIRP, there is only one difference between the IMG files of the Chinese interface and the English interface. By using the binary modification software and modifying the value of the corresponding address, the intercom can switch between the Chinese and English interfaces. The address is 3F90H. The Chinese interface is 01, and the English interface is 00. The modified IMG file is uploaded to the device through CHIRP. This can achieve the purpose. I think this should be put in the next CHIRP update version as a function option.

Please test this updated module to see if it allows you to edit names in chinese now.

The bug report failure is related to your log file now having non-latin characters in it. I will need to fix that separately, but I will work on it. Also, I will add the chinese/english toggle separately.

Translate some English names in radtel_rt490.py module into Chinese.Many thanks to the project developers for their hard work

Best Regards
