I have had the definitions from this document translated to chinese (word document). I will be glad if you send me this document by email. See below.
How do I use the chinese text in my application. You should make all the texts to UNICODE representations. As VFP does not support UNICODE natively (however it has some functions for handling UNICODE strings) it is not simple task. I am working on solution for making this conversion easy. The goal is to make "true" multilingual applications with our framework. Known issues till the moment:
VFP depends on the OS locale - if you said default locale CP of OS is for example
Win1251 (Cyrillic CP) it is not easy to make the application use another CP for the interface (it is supposed that the interface is done with native VFP controls) - workaround - to have additional locale specific font that is installed by the program installation.
VFP cannot have (without a trick) UNICODE data in his tables. I cannot tell you the workaround at the moment because I think it will became part of our comercial multilanguage framework.
When I do a copy and paste to the header file I get #define LOC_Exit '??'. Will this be o.k when I install my application on the chinese windows platform.No It will not - you will get ?? as label in your application in this case, becase the locale specific data is lost.
I am allowed to give you only a starting point for you:
it is the
STRCONV() VFP function with parameter nConversionSetting = 6.
You can contact me (if you only wish to send me the Chinese translation word document) or my boss (if you would like to make a B2B multilingual solution for you) by email.
