Re[2]: Complicated languages

Hello!

As an answer for Your letter, I would like to write:

I know that, but try to implement double-byte character sets (now I know
its name! 8) in msvc without mfc...

Should we consider this to be a bug?

Ok, You're right, but it's right-to-left. Is it supported by TB!?

You  are  right  and I know that (I even tried to learn Kanji once). But
it's  easier  for me to treat Kanji as an alphabet, because I don't know
proper english word for this... hmm... 'Chinese-bugs-on-paper?'.

So it should be called character set? Ok, good to know.
Anyway - thanks!

Best Regards

No problem reading and writing Chinese over here.

So my posting a minute ago to tamuz. BTW, there are no "complicated"
languages in computing, but single-byte character languages (most of
them) and double-byte character sets (DBCS; also called CJK -
Chinese-Japanese-Korean). TB displays Chinese just fine except that it
does not insert automatic line breaks in autowrap or auto-format;
someone had a problem with Japanese but I think that has been fixed;
but I haven't read anything about Korean yet.

Arabic is not complicated. In fact, the writing is much easier and
more logical than English. What makes you think it is complicated?

Kanji is not an alphabet. The Chinese use characters (depicting
meaning), not letters (depicting pronunciation), that's why it is not
an alphabet. Kanji is just the Japanese word for "Chinese characters",
one of the three sets of characters they use (four sets, if you count
Romanji).

Complicated languages

[Dominik 'IronHand' Dalek]

Hello!

Maybe like this:
Is  The  Bat!  supporting multi-character digits, like Kanji alphabet or
others? I know Delphi apps mostly do, but does TB!?

If not, are there any plans to support Arabic, Chinese, Japanese...?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards
IronHand
