Is main menu real Unicode?

[yeskky]

In history.txt I read

31.10.08 Added: Unicode support in main menu
31.10.08 Added: Start to add Unicode support everywhere, e.g. to use Russian language version on German Windows

I'm using Japanese Windows and I want to use Chinese language in TC.
I tried Chinese menu and language files,but it shows messy code in option dialog and menu.
How can I use Chinese language in Japanese Windows?

I found the solusion myself.
Just add one line

codepage=936

in the begin of wcmd_xxx.lng file.

Indeed most new translations versions aren't available yet. You can use the above trick, but some strings will appear in English then. Btw, you can find out the codepage number by viewing the language file in Lister and choosing the correct encoding from the menu.

I'm adding incoming translations to the following list:
https://plugins.ghisler.com/lang750/

Chinese (Main Land) will be available very soon, I'm in contact with the translator and he has sent me already a translation.

Do you mean that now the user interface isn't full unicode yet and after you finish it the UI will get nothing to do with the language file's codepage?

[ghisler(Author)]

The user interface is fully Unicode when the loaded language has different codepage than the user's default code page. When the codepage is the same, TC will use Ansi controls in many places because Unicode isn't needed in these cases.

There's still messy code on tabstop header.
"文件名 \n 扩展名 \n 大小 \n 日期时间 \n 属性"
which means "Name\nExt\nSize\nDate\nAttr".
I added a space string before and after "\n" otherwise they will display in the same column like this picture http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SteuVdEj-zqCBktuFRBDFg?feat=directlink on tabstop header in Japanese Windows.

After adding a space string before and after "\n" the layout of the tabstop header is OK but still a few messy code: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/fswbOe_aw-wn1RPaBhZOPg?feat=directlink which should be 文件名|扩展名|大小|日期时间|属性

Is it a bug of Unicode function?

You're not completely right.

Japanese has two directions types for writing:

- yokogaki - which is the same as English:

Code: Select all

123
---
456
---
789

- tategaki - columns from right to left with letters from top to bottom:

Code: Select all

7|4|1
8|5|2
9|6|3

Columns headers should work with first style IMHO.

[yeskky]

Very strange!After some time the messy code turns to normal Chinese character! I don't know how it happened!

It is indeed a bug which will be fixed in public beta 2. Thanks for reporting it!

Please let me know if you find any similar bugs in other parts of the program.

[yeskky]

Not found yet in other part now.
If any,I will report them.
