Unicode files - FC lng files for example, are not displayed correctly in the viewer. I'm not sur eif it's a bug, or just not implemented yet, but I couldn't find anything...

Example of the text displaying in the viewer in text and unicode mode:

"[Text]
1=fc_ShortCuts_en.htm
2=licence_eng.rtf

2001=OK
2002=Zru┼íi┼ą

2004=Spusti┼ą

3001=Prie─Źinok - vpravo
3002=Prie─Źinok - akt├şvny"

Correct text (displaying correctly in notepad and pspad for example):

"[Text]
1=fc_ShortCuts_en.htm
2=licence_eng.rtf

2001=OK
2002=Zrušiť
2003=Použiť
2004=Spustiť
2005=Nájsť

3000=Priečinok - vľavo
3001=Priečinok - vpravo
3002=Priečinok - aktívny"

The lng files are not Unicode files but UTF8 files. For UTF8 you should use "RTF/UTF8" option in viewer.

I tried all options in viewer, also "RTF/UTF8", but the result is the same...

"[Text]

3001=PrieÄŤinok - vpravo
3002=PrieÄŤinok - aktĂ­vny
3003=PrieÄŤinok - neaktĂ­vny"

BTW it's correct in other text viewers and editors, even without changing any option and it's OK also in old FC with option "RTF/UTF8".

Edit: So some languages are OK with option "RTF/UTF8", but...

Slovak.lng - result is above
Bulgarian.lng - result is the empty viewer, no characters
Bulgarian.lng - result is the empty viewer, no characters

I think, the files are not correctly saved.
Open slovak.lng with some text editor and call "Save as..." with the option Encoding UTF8.
Correctly saved files starts as follow (you cann see it in viewer):
[Text]
1=fc_ShortCuts_en.htm
2=licence_eng.rtf

I did it again, in PSPad, UTF-8, save, still the same. I think the files are saved correctly.

BTW all broken lng files are displayed correctly in old FC, notepad, PSPad, but they are broken in OpenOffice, Wordpad and FC XE, strange.

What I wrote in this post wasn't correct, so I deleted all.
I apologize for my mistake.

Please try it again in the release 596, I have made some changes for auto detect text files.

Great work, fixed in 596, thank you, Marek!

Closed.

Edit: So Bulgarian.lng and Russian.lng are still empty, not sure if it's a bug, Serbian.lng is OK, strange.
