Configuring Windows for Language Support
SECTION 15 Multilingual Features
232
15-6-3 Loading Old Projects
Projects and pages created in CX-Supervisor 1.25 and earlier use Microsoft's
Double Byte Character Sets (known as DBCS, or sometimes MBCS) for
multilingual features. The formatting of character tables in MBCS is not the
same as Unicode. However, old projects and pages are automatically
converted to Unicode when they are loaded, and will then be saved in
Unicode. This works without problem if the project is English, or contains no
extended characters. However there can be problems converting old MBCS
that use extended German, Spanish, Finnish and especially MBCS Russian
characters. Follow this section to load and convert these types of projects
properly.
Failure to follow these steps will result in extended characters being
substituted for the nearest suitable character, which is likely to be incorrect
and cause errors. Once saved, the conversion error cannot be undone so any
occurrences will need to be edited manually. This can be time consuming and
should be avoided.
These settings are only required temporarily during the conversion process.
Once converted to Unicode the Operating System can be reconfigured and
the Unicode characters will be displayed correctly.
Windows XP
To configure Windows XP to correctly display extended characters, to allow
conversion to Unicode:
1. Open Control Panel and select Regional and Language options.
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. From the 'Language for non-Unicode programs' select the language that the
application was written for. Remember that CX-Supervisor 1.25 and earlier
was a non-Unicode program.
4. OK all dialogs and install new OS files from CD if requested. Reboot if
required.
Windows 2000
To configure Windows 2000 to correctly display extended characters, to allow
conversion to Unicode:
1. Open Control Panel and select Regional Options.
2. On the General tab, select the original application language in the
Language settings for the system section.
3. Change the default System Locale to the original application language.
Click the Set Default… button and select the required language.
Note:
As always, when updating the format of the project file to a new file version
always keep a copy of the old project for backup purposes.
Note:
For the conversion process to work properly, and all extended characters to be
correctly converted it is vital that the conversion takes place while the
computer is configured to correctly display these characters.
Note:
In some circumstances (like Russian or Greek support) it has been noted
"Install files for complex script" needs to be selected on the Languages tab.
Microsoft does not document the reason for this.
Note:
In some circumstances (like Russian or Greek support) it has been noted
"Thai" language also needs to be selected. Microsoft does not document the
reason for this.
