No?
e.g. UTF8: Chào mừng bạn tải xuống OpenOffice.org 2.1 ASCII: Cha`o mu+`ng ba.n ta?i xuo^'ng OpenOffice.org 2.1AFAIK there is a single byte encoding in Windows for Vietnamese(CP1258). You should investigate why your installation strings were notconverted from UTF8 to CP1258. I'm sure, for example, that Hungarian strings are converted from UTF8 to CP1250 because I see correct Hungarian accents in Hungarian builds. Single byte codepages has a disadvantage that we have to live with: Windows default codepage (in regional settings) should be the same otherwise the special characters are displayed corrupted.
Andras, I'm not a Windows user. I've heard about this bug on at least one other l10n project because it was a stated problem with translating installer software. But I don't have any experience with following through Windows issues.
How do I investigate why our strings weren't converted to single-byte? Thankyou for your help with this. :)from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
