Hi
I developed and released a desktop blogging software. It stores
entries in a listbox; when an entry is selected, it appears in an
editfield below the entries list.
I left text encoding alone in this project. My understanding is that
everything is UTF8 now, so I figured there would be no problems for
international users (I'm in Oregon, US).
I receive feedback from a user in Finland, the app is choking on
Finnish. I went back to my code and tried forcing text encoding for
reads and writes to SystemDefault. Feedback from the user indicated
no improvement.
Thought to ask if there's any issues with text encoding,
workarounds? This bites. I believe I should handle encodings at
all, given if a new file is created with my software, it is UTF8, so
the same file opened would also be UTF8. Aren't all MacOS
localizations using UTF8 by default?
Any insights would be helpful here. This doesn't appear easily solved.
Developed with 2006R4 on G5, 10.4.8, released as universal binary.
Thanks for any knowledge that can clarify what to do for localization.
Yours truly
R Charles Flickinger
