Some problems with codepage=65001 in main LNG

Post by *MVV »

Most of menus and dialogs work fine when codepage=65001 is set in main LNG file and MNU/LNG/INC are in UTF-8 w/o BOM.
However some troubles exist (1251 and 65001 LNG encodings' comparison): About dialog shows wrong characters (squares or invisible characters), also built-in plugin fields' names are bad (some are incomplete and other ones wrong at all).

The problems in the about box are with strings 672-676 - they are encoded and contain ANSI. The other problems are with plugins, see my reply to your other question. UTF-8 should only be used for translations which absolutely require it.

Yes, you're right, strings from about dialog are encoded specially so keep ANSI (I forgot it).
But why TC shows wrong names for built-in plugin fields?

These are from the lines 1579 and 1580. Can you check your translation there?

Translation is ok, both cases on the screenshot use same one (official Russian) but in different encodings (second one is converted to UTF-8), and first one works perfectly.

Confirm. Wrong characters cometimes present in plugins fields with changed codepage.

Wcmd_lng.lng and wmcd_lng.inc also need a conversion. Maybe possible to eliminate this need (technical ability is available on the example of the same synchronization tool).

It was worth informing that the problem has been fixed in version 10.
