AS 2005 - XMLA Language issues

I have a problem with Analysis Server 2005, more the XMLA side on the
msmdpump.dll.

My analysis cube contains source columns for dimensions are set as
nvarchar, allowing me to store Russian Cyrillic and Chinese characters
.In AS 2K, these characters could not display in the Analysis Manager
due to it being written in VB6 (Received info from MS helpdesk). Now I
have moved to AS2005 and the data displays fine in the SSBI Dev Studio.
But when the front end tool receives the data from the msmdpump.dll the
Russian and Chinese are replaced by question marks. Is there some
settings that we can set in the msmdpump.ini to be able to allow the
XMLA to return the non-Latin Characters?

I would think this is really a problem with the front end tool itself.
Msmdpump.dll has no problems in dealing with Unicode (and will return
Unicode results encoded as UTF-8 to the front end).

Hope this helps
