I am going to write a document containing Chinese and English words. However, the linespaces for the two different language are not the same. Now, I take "Temporarily increase line spacing" as the reference to change the linespace for the lines with Chinese characters. Here is my code (Note that I typeset the document with XeLaTeX):
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
% Setting the Chinese fonts.
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{BiauKai}
\newCJKfontfamily\bfKai{楷體-繁 粗體}
\usepackage{times}
% Setting the linebreak for Chinese font.
\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "zh"
\XeTeXlinebreakskip = 0pt plus 1pt
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{\bfKai{摘要} (Abstract)}
\setlength{\baselineskip}{20pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{abstract}
\linespread{1.2} 本研究的重點在於利用JRA-25再分析資料來模擬颱風的活動,並找出不同偵測和軌跡的檢測方案如何影響模擬的結果。 \\[0.3cm]
\linespread{1} The study is to use JRA-25 reanalysis data to find how the activities of simulated tropical cyclones (TCs) is affected by different detection and trajectory schemes.
\end{abstract}
\end{document}
But the command \linespread{1.2} before the Chinese sentences is not working at all. How to fix the problem?
Thank you!
