As some people know, I’ve been using a chat client called QQ for a while now. QQ is the largest instant messenger network in China and it’s popular among students of Chinese, who see it as an opportunity to improve their language skills through chatting with native Chinese speakers.
The programme itself is indeed very easy to use. It has one significant downside, though — this is the fact that it only works reliably if the system language is set to Chinese. As you can imagine, this is a meddlesome task, so I was starting to look for alternative clients. This brought me to LumaQQ, a multi-platform Java application, which seems to be quite stable and easy to use.
In case you’re intersted, head over to the LumaQQ homepage and click 下载 (download). Here are a few screenshots for your enjoyment: pic01, pic02, pic03
