Hello,
I try to make cyrillic support in AW and this is my "IMHOs":
1. IMHO, we need working with unicode(16 bit, not UTF8) from getting keyboard
key to output to screen.
Why? If the difference between target alphabet and Latin is not big, 2-4 chars
( such as europe alphabets), the way of Miksa is good. But russian alphabet,
ukrainian alphabet has 32 - 35 _NON-latin_ letters and charsets for this
languages are platform-dependent.
Russian: CP1251 for Win
KOI8-R for most Unixes
ISO-8859-5 for ISO systems
MacCyrillic for Mac
Ukrainian: CP1251 for Win
KOI8-U for most Unixes
ISO-8859-5 for ISO
MacUkrainian for Mac
I don't know what's about arabic, korean and so on...
WBR,
Vadim.
