Can LangDLL plugin selection dialog display Japanese text?

rsegal · 27th August 2003, 16:19

For the LangDLL plugin, is it possible to display japanese/chinese or other similiar characters in the language selection dialog? This is done for many of the european languages. For example "French" will show up as "Francais", I want to have the same thing for Japanese and/or Chinese.

It only supports ASCII charecters, so if you need special charecters you should use the English name.

Ok thanks Joost. Any plans to expand support for other character sets?

You can't use multiple character sets in one combobox. It could be possible to create you own combobox with support for multiple charsets, but it would require a lot of work and it's not very useful because users who don't have an OS supporting Japenese will get confused because of the weird stuff that will be displayed.
