Hi devels, How does the localization of fpc work? Is there only the -Fr parameter or is there more? Does the compiler convert the encoding?
No, the file must be in the encoding used on the platform. The compiler does not look at the encoding.
I guess the files in fpc/compiler/msg are used. For example for German it uses errord.msg. What encoding has the file errord.msg?
I would guess windows or DOS, since it's not readable on linux. The file errordu.msg is readable, so most likely it is UTF-8. These files were made long before the compiler had a notion of codepages. These days one could perhaps look at recoding...
