Multi-lingual app displaying text properly

[rogerte]

I have an app which is multi-lingual, with all program based text in a resource, and the data in Paradox tables.

The multi-lingual side works OK except in some languages (Portugese, Spanish) some characters (those that reside outside the 7 bit range) do not display correctly. I assumed this was do do with the Windows Locale setting, but changing the Locale and the international settings to match the chosen language does not seem to affect the display.

When looking at the strings in the resource file (before resource compilation) using notepad the characters display correctly.

<btw> Am using Delphi 4.

Can anyone tell me what is happening here?

Check the data from the table in the debugger, and also try a test where you create a non-translated label with the extended characters.

Also check the .Font of the form to make sure it supports the extended characters.

Cheers
