Hello there,

I am currently using LEAP to calculate the future carbon emission of my city based on the energy consumption. My problem is that when I used Chinese version of LEAP, even though I can get the results of energy demand and one hundred global warming potential, the emission results of separate greenhouse gas cannot be shown in the model.For example, after clicking "results"-"environment:carbon dioxides(Non-Biogenic)",there is no diagram or data available here.However, it can run successfully in English version.Thus I wonder what the problem is with my situation.
Thanks.

Hello Yiyi,

This is a very interesting observation, thank you for pointing it out! I can also reproduce it, on my computer.

What I've noticed is that LEAP has trouble translating the name 'Carbon Dioxide Non Biogenic' to Chinese, which means it doesn't display the proper results. I have noticed that when 'Carbon Dioxide Non Biogenic' *is* correctly translated, as displayed in the Effect selection drop-down menu (in Results view, select 环境: 二氧化碳（非生物的), or in English, Environment: Carbon Dioxide (Non-Biogenic)), the results chart is correct, but when it is not correctly translated and remains displayed in English, the results show that no carbon dioxide is emitted.

Unfortunately, I can not reliably determine when this translation does and does not occur correctly, so I can't offer any steps to fix it. Our apologies for this - we'll look into the issue and hopefully fix it shortly.

Best,

Taylor
