\section{Writing non-English applications}\label{nonenglishoverview}
|
|
|
|
This article describes how to write applications that communicate with
|
|
user in language other than English. Unfortunately many languages use
|
|
different charsets under Unix and Windows (and other platforms, to make
|
|
situation even more complicated). These charsets usually differ in so
|
|
many characters it is impossible to use same texts under all platforms.
|
|
wxWindows provide mechanism that helps you avoid distributing many
|
|
identical, only differently encoded, packages with your application
|
|
(e.g. help files and menu items in iso8859-13 and windows-1257). Thanks
|
|
to this mechanism you can distribute only let's say iso8859-13 data
|
|
and it will be handled transparently under all systems.
|
|
|
|
Please read \helpref{Internationalization}\label{internationalization} which
|
|
describes locales concept.
|
|
|
|
Whereever in the following text {\it iso8859-2} and {\it windows-1250} are
|
|
used, any encodings are meant and any encodings may be substituted there.

|
If you're using \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller} there is
|
|
no problem at all. You must only make sure that all HTML files contain
|
|
META tag, e.g.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="iso8859-2">
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
and that hhp project file contains one additional line in {\tt OPTIONS}
|
|
section:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
Charset=iso8859-2
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
This additional entry tells HTML help controller what encoding is used
|
|
in contents and index tables.
