We'll need to see how that fits together. This remains unsolved problem on Linux in general (and it's probably even worse on PDAs). Long story short, it is likely that someone who uses a Cyrillic language will use Latin keyboard. Ideally, programs should accept both Cyrillic character and its Latin equivalent. And, I don't think that CF supports German umlauts either. I tried by typing in a file name on save game dialog and it seems that it accepts nothing but pure ASCII. > Also, are you sure that only Chinese uses more than 2 bytes for > representing a character? Otherwise we may need a proper UTF-8 decoder. Well, no, Chinese is only typical example. Devanagari already uses 3 bytes, and so do various East Asian scripts, Chinese, Japanese, Korean... I haven't seen much translations into languages which use these scripts so I believe it's not a priority.
