Japanese localisation

[Thorben]

Hello group,



does anybody knows a way to add Japanese language to a western language
based application? Our software is switch-able between English and France.

Now I got the job to add Japanese to the application. But when I put
Japanese strings from MS Word per drag and drop into the text filed of a
label I get only square characters. Has any body an Idea what I should do?

You want to use the resource manager. You can then create different TXT
files for each language.

The trick to adding Japanese (or Russian) support is to save the TXT file as
Unicode. You do this in VS by File / Save As... You will then see an
option to change the encoding from ASCII to whatever you want - Unicode in
this case.

Note that Unicode is only supported on Windows 2000 and above. You're out
of luck with Windows 98/Me.
