How to convert a Chinese string to english for windows phone store apps[Javascript]

Question

i am creating a nfc functionality for app. When sending nfc message from android to windows phone 8.1, the message comes as chinese. How can i convert this into english. Is there any utf like methods for for windows phone 8.1 javascript.

you have Chinese text that you need translated to English? That has nothing to do with encoding (utf), so it's not clear what you're asking. — WiredPrairie, Jun 11 '15 at 10:36
Was the original message English? I think you have an encoding problem, not a translation problem. — Raymond Chen, Jun 12 '15 at 03:33

You'll need to look into third party services to do Chinese to English translation. There is nothing built in to the Operating System or runtime that can do that.

UTF is a character encoding only and had no relation to the actual content or meaning of encoded characters.

I don't know. Have you looked at it? I'm not sure what license it has and the cost. Bing also has one. – WiredPrairie Jun 12 '15 at 10:34
