Hello, A Korean user posted a complaint that he lost his work after saving the document into MS Word format. Later, it was found that he chose MS Word 6.0 format which does not support unicode to save the document. The result was critical. When he opened the document again, all Korean characters turned into question mark.
I understand the warning message for non-native filter could be one way to prevent this kind of situation. However, the issue should be addressed in better way because it is possible to cause data loss. Before going to issuezilla, I'd like to discuss here on what is the best way to handle the issue. A suggestion came up to me so far is to have different filter list for each language version. For instance, MS Word 6.0 and 95 format filters are almost useless and even dangerous for Korean users (unless we implement application-level character set handling). Considering the fact, I believe it is safe to hide those filters in Korean version. However, I am not sure how practical the suggestion is. How do you think?
