Hi Emir, > https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/185/ > Turkish CP 857 encoding is not applied in FreeDOS.
As far as I know, you can use MODE and DISPLAY to load a CP857 font and you can use Turkish keyboard layout in at least one of our keyboard drivers. All source code comments are supposed to be in English language, so there should be no Turkish characters in the source code. But that does not influence your ability to switch FreeDOS to Turkish code page font and keyboard layout. Please explain the problems. > I have also checked the strings in the source code, > and noticed that instead of Turkish characters > (ı, İ, ğ, Ğ, ç, Ç, ş, Ş, ö, Ö, ü, Ü), substitutes > are used.

I can imagine that FreeDOS also touches Turkish text in alphabetic sorting and in fixed dialog keys like Yes / No / Cancel / Abort / Retry etc. Those should be configurable using the COUNTRY settings. If there are bugs in COUNTRY for Turkish, or if support for COUNTRY in Turkish is incomplete, that can be fixed. You can also switch the user text language in some of the FreeDOS programs. For example you can make FreeCOM command.com "speak" different languages. I think this was possible for Dutch, German, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Spanish and Swedish, while the French and Italian translations might be outdated or incomplete. I have not checked whether FreeCOM translations got updated after 2003. Maybe a nice project for language loving FreeDOS users on this mailing list? :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
