And why?

what character encoding trouble have you had and how did you solve it?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Translation implies that you wish to add resource text files in other languages, which means you will wish to use some form of unicode. Using windows you might decide upon UTF16, although UTF8 is also very common.

OTHER TIPS

UTF-8 should be the best choice. Will work with all languages and very well supported among the applications.
