pidgin not working with QQ chat

[abc def]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem using QQ in pidgin. I am able to log in, add friends,
etc, but whenever I have a conversation, all the messages I receive are
(NULL). i.e,

friend: (NULL)
me: Um...I can't see that =(
friend: (NULL)

Any ideas what's up? I'm thinking it could be language support...but I'm not
sure how to fix this as language support doesn't seem to be an option in
installation (only spellcheck support). Thanks! your help is much
appreciated :)
