Bummer. I've already got it working. I cloned the Language dialog
and loaded English, Japanese, and Unicode this afternoon. I've been
working on adding all the major encodings which libiconv supports
and thinking about problems such as which order to list them under
different OSes, selecting the language and having code to guess the
encoding, and building in only the encodings the machine's iconv
can handle. I'll look into extending the FileOpenSaveAs dialog but
I'm not sure I'll have time since I'm also planning a major overseas
trip...
Would it be acceptable to submit it the current way so that others
can bend it into shape?
I'll see what I can do though I'd hate to think my efforts might
be wasted. Especially in the greatly overlooked area of
multilanguage support.
