Can I save config.js in UTF8?

[Clown]

hi everybody

I need your help!!!

I want to save my configurations (program categories and descriptions) in Georgian language (UTF8), but I think it's impossible-

when I save config.js in UTF8 and load it from WPI config tool, it shows me that config.js is old (v.7.2) and changes my configuration and mixes everything. Please HELP me. I'll be very grateful.

Or tell me if config.js can't support utf8

(I have translated language files into Georgian and it works. The only problem is config.js)

Why???

[Clown]

why why???

I want to have my WPI on my own language

is it possible to save in UTF8 or not? when I save in other encodings, WPI can see it, but when I save in UTF8, there's error

I will ask mritter. AFAIK utf-8 support is already implemented.

The ONLY issue I see with that is just HOW MUCH of config.js are you translating? If you are translating any of the defualt, internal stuff then you will surely have issues.

at first I thought so, but I modified Russian config.js from downloaded WPI, translated only russian text and the result was the same

and from WPI tool I can't save program descriptions and categories in Georgian language.

I will check in to it. Strange that you are the first one to ask for this. I would have thought it would have come up a long time ago.

[Clown]

wow, that's really strange

but I have been trying to save in UTF8 since I have used program and as I have tried out, the only problem was in UTF8. all the other encodings are ok...

[Clown]

Can I or not? can anybody tell me?

[mritter]

Give me a chance to look into it and test it out. I will get ahold of you forf testing.

Sheesh......

Clown is right. The Configuration is not UTF8 compatible.

I do not create config.js file through the Configuration. I do it for years manually by text editor (notepad++, notepad2, sometimes akelapad (Russian one)) in UTF8.

I did some quick searching, but found nothing on saving UTF-8. Do I need to specify the charset in the HTA? Something like:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

I do the same I used bred, notepad, notepad++ and akelapad too, but then configuration can't recognize text

and when I tried to write something via configuration, It couldn't save

and that's soooooooo strange that nobody have asked about it... I need to save in UTF8 very much and I can't do it

I do not use WPI new versions and is OK. I use 7.1.0 and Classic one, if I would use newer, e.g. 7.3.0, I would get error as yours.

You should open WPI Configuration (if you use new versions), copy and paste from saved old config.js copy, then save WPI configuration.

If you understand Russian you could see it. Config.js is saved in ANSI as UTF mode in case of version 7.3

config7.1.js

config7.3.js

That's what I need to hear. If 7.1 saves properly, but 7.3 does not, then I will see what was changed and modify the latest version.
