Board index » Visual Studio » Hindi Codepage

Visual Studio226
Hello all,

I don't know if this is the right place for this question or not.

OK I need to translate my MFC application to Hindi.

(I am goingto use www.codeproject.com/tools/localizerc.asp this tool

for the purpose).



Now MS says that there is no codepage for Hindi.....etc...Armenian &

Georgian. When I put 0 or 1 for the code page in the rc file I am getting

errors in the VC++ when I open the RC or when I try to compile the satellite

dll:

0: Code page is not an integer

1: Invalid Code page.



in the line:

#pragma code_page(0)



What shall be the codepage value for Hindi. I think I need to put something

there, right?

Thanks a lot for any help

Hi, Srishti,

From this article:

www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/oslocversion.mspx">www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/oslocversion.mspx

we can see that the codepage for Hindi was involved in Windows Vista;

however the code page does not exist in earlier OSes. It seems that only

Windows XP Starter Edition has it but this edition seems never existed in

the market.



Since this is a issue of product limitation, I recommend that you give

Microsoft feedback via:

connect.microsoft.com">connect.microsoft.com

Your void will be heared by the product team and hope that this feature

will be included in the next release of service pack.



If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me

know.

Have a good day!



Best regards,

Charles Wang

in Windows.



to rc.exe, and you can also delete the #pragma code_page



To edit the .RC in visual mode you need to use Visual Studio 2005 (that is

the first version where the resource editor supports Unicode).



There are still bugs, one of them (plus work-around) is explained here:

http://www.mihai-nita.net/article.php?artID" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.mihai-nita.net/article.php=20051030a

But overall it works.



If you don't work with VS2005, the only way (unfortunately) is to edit the

coordinates manualy (in Notepad or other editor that supports Unicode),

compile, and check at runtime. Quite tedious.
