The problem with SIL Editor

Hello,
I found the problem with SIL Editor (the last version).
I see that the translations are correct, but when i double click on a caption of a row to edit it, it doesn't show correctly, such as Chinese, Russian, Greek (all languages are not latin characters).
Please advice me how i edit the translation.

i also added font and charset in the font default. And i see that the charset list in the font default is not the same with charsets of a form
In the Charsets Entry, the list has 19 charsets
In the FontDefault, the list has 18 charsets. It takes 30 minutes i found this, there's no Vietnamese charset. But i think this is not problem for me.

Regards,
Frank

Please be sure that under Charsets and Fonts sections in SIL/SIB file there are settings for all languages. And also under menu Tools | Default Fonts there are correct settings for the "problem" languages.

I suppose because it doesn't exists in Delphi (the compiler used for SIL Editor). :(

Dear Sir,
I see Vietnamese charset in the ChartSet entry, but i didn't see it in the default Font.
You are right, there's no Vietnamese charset in Delphi complier.

i still have problem, i can not edit the string in Caption.
It show correct, but when i double click on it to change, but it doesn't show correct.
I choose the correct Charset, and add in the Default Font also.
i did these steps:
- Open my project
- go to Silang expert, save project to SIB file
- Open SIB file in SILEditor.
- Everything work well, but when i double click on a row to edit the string, it's wrong.(Special with Chinese, Russian, Greek...)

Please advice

I can suggest you to try to use Multi-line editor (CTRL+ENTER on cell) in SIL Editor. It is Unicode and I suppose might help.
