Given the conversions enumerated at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.strings.strconv.aspx there are no codepages involved. For details see below. Long answer following: First, a codepage is not a language ID. It is an ID for text encoding, which only in some cases is related to a language. e.g., the common cp437 or Windows-1252 are language neutral. > The relation between them seems available at [1].

The functionality StrConv() provides is not conversion between text encodings, but tranliterations instead. > So, I was wondering if we had > already implemented such a translation function. Yes ;) it is transliteration and already used in the patch for StrConv(). > Is there any idea to implement the StrConv() macro function which > can work on not only Window but also other operating systems? I think the implementation of the patch attached to http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85036 is completely wrong for the cases of VbStrConv.Wide and VbStrConv.Narrow. What the patch does is conversion between OString and OUString and vice versa, which is the only reason a rtl_TextEncoding is needed. But this is wrong, it should do transliteration using HALFWIDTH_FULLWIDTH and FULLWIDTH_HALFWIDTH instead. Wide and Narrow are not related to the number of bytes per character used ;-) I'll reopen the issue and add a comment. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.
