Polish Characters

Post by clewinton »

Hello,

I have a strange problem, we are translating our C++ Builder application into Polish and mostly its going well. However I seem to be having problems with Polish characters at some stages. What I do is:

1 - Create a dictonary from my English strings
2 - Export to Excel and get these translated (with Polish characters)
3 - Import the Excel back into the dictonary (Polish characters are still there)
4 - Use this dictonary to auto translate my SIL file from my application (Polish characters appear in SIL editor)

However now if I close and reopen the SIL file the Polish charaters are all gone, and if I import the SIL file into Builder there are no Polish characters?

Thanks

Charles

Hello,


Do you have specified under Charsets section proper charset for Polish language?
Best regards,
Igor Siticov.

After some playing around I found if I do all the following it works perfectly:

1 - Make sure my english windows is set to have Polish as the non-unicode supported language (set in control panel somewhere)

2 - Set the charset of all polish translations to EASTEUROPE

3 - Set the font to Arial Unicode MS

Once I did all these its now appears to work well.

Thanks

Charles
