Hi all,
so be sure. I was posting mail with the same thing when your mail arrived.
For czech language situation looks like follows
- UNIX iso-8859-2
- M$-Windows cp1250
For czech strigs is solution quite simple: add support to wv for
iso-8859-2 (il2), but menus and toolbars strings are compiled in. Zbynek
Miksa provided them in il2 which work fine on my linux platform, but now I
am testing Win32 version and czech il2 letters in menu are wrong.
Is there some simple solution or i missed something ?
Thanks for answer.
