:necktie: A collection of simple and easy to use, yet powerful LaTeX templates for CVs and resumes. All of them are self designed and self implemented and not copied from template collections.
+
+Now with support for Chinese, Japanese and Korean character encoding. Setup is only two lines of code! Read more here.

+# Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) Language Support
+
+## Installation
+
+At first you need to have the CJK LaTeX packages to be installed on your system.
+
+The easiest way is to install install all packages for Chinese, Japanese and KoreaN (CJK) from the apt repositories (Ubuntu Linux):
+
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install latex-cjk-all
+```
+
+Or install language specific packages:
+
+Chinese only:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-chinese
+```
+
+Japanese only:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-japanese
+```
+
+Korean only:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-korean
+```
+
+(Pull requests with installation instructions for other OS are much appreciated.)
+
+## Import and use the CJK environment
+
+Considering the structure of this repository you can include the `cjk.tex` using the `\input` command using a relative path. You also need to define a `\cjklang` variable, that defines the character set to use.
+
+```
+\documentclass[10pt,A4]{article} % just added to demonstrate where to put the \def and input
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % just added to demonstrate where to put the \def and input
+\def \cjklang {gbsn} % defines to use gbsn simplified Chinese for this document
+\input{../cjk/cjk.tex} % includes the CJK setup script.
+% ...
+```
+
+That's it.
+
+You can use for `\cjklang` one of the following options:
+
+* Simplified Chinese: `gbsn`or `gkai`
+* Traditional Chinese: `bmsi` or `bkai`
+* Japnese: `min` (Mincho), `goth` (Gothic) or `maru` (Maru Gothic)
+* Korean: `mj` for MyongJu
+
+Note, that there is no need to place the CJK environment inside the document. It is automatically done when including the `cjk.tex` file. The `cjk.tex` script uses the `\AfterEndPreamble` and `\AtEndDocument` hooks to place the environment at the very beginning and end of the document.
+If you need more granular environments (e.g. mixing two or more) you can deactivate these hooks and use the `\begin{cjkenv}` and `\end{cjkenv}` in a custom way.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+The `cjk.tex` includes the `CJKutf8` package in order to cross-support the typesetting with the UTF-8 based typesetting of the `main.tex` files of the templates. If there is trouble in displaying characters, this may be your first source for troubleshooting.
+
+If there are errors like
+
+```
+! PACKAGE INPUTENC ERROR: UNICODE CHAR Ņ� (U+5173)
+(INPUTENC) NOT SET UP FOR USE WITH LATEX.
+
+SEE THE INPUTENC PACKAGE DOCUMENTATION FOR EXPLANATION.
+Type H for immediate help.
+```
+
+it may be caused, due to the use of the environment inside a header defining command like `\section`.
+For troubleshooting such issues see this post: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/478696/is-there-a-way-to-make-fancyhdr-with-pagestyle-fancy-to-be-compatible-with-chine
