I've now completed the majority of my localization effort, which versions running in Japanese, Korean and two Chinese encodings, but 1 problem remains. If I have a resource such as a dialog box with some labels, entry fields, etc, any labels that are not in English do not come out properly. It appears that each byte is trying to be represented as a character, not single byte character sets. I am not sure the exact nature of this problem, or what to do next. I was wondering if you had included resources in any applications that you had built with the GNU stuff. I have tried putting the resources into True Type as well as the older style font types, like MS Sans Serif, both of which are supported in the Japanese Windows I am working with. A wierd thing is that on another machine, I am trialling a product called Union Way (available on the Web), which puts a layer on English Windows to givw an Asian language environment. On this setup, it works fine ?? I am using Gunther Ebert's RCL program to put the resources into my executable. Perhaps there is some problem here - I am not sure. I am not sure which version of rcl.exe I am using, but the file size is 173264 bytes. Perhaps I need a newer version ? I have even tried changing the text labels in dialogs during the WM_INITDIALOG message, using SetWindowText or SetDlgItemText API calls, but the result is the same, so I fear that the problem is related to the resources inside the executable, rather that something at the display end. Any ideas anyone ? Thanks in advance, Neil.
