Title: How to insert a foreign language text
Post by: Andy on January 21, 2009, 10:05:11 AM
Hi All,

I'm trying to insert some foreign language text (Greek) into a checkbox instead of English, I have installed the greek language keyboard and even tried it on a greek xp pc, but the text does not translate properly.

O/S Win XP

Has anybody have any ideas or solutions please.

Thank you all
Andy.

See the alphabetical reference for the SETFONT command,

Change the font of the control to one that supports the Greek character set, such as Tahoma

Setfont win, "Tahoma",10,400,0x00A10000,controlID

The values for character sets a listed in the users guide.

Not sure it would work here ----
In PHP I use an include file that has all my language dependent strings defined as vars.
One file for each language then include the one I need.
This way I can include the correct language file and it will automatically covert to the language.
