The question is: should the LCL use the 'native' string type and let the

Hello,
What was the outcome of this question?
I prefer using utf-8, se we have "write once and compile anywhere".
Writing 3 times the code quickly becomes annoying as more translations
are added and the software becomes big.
One problem, however, is what to do on Windows 9x and on Gtk 1. We
would need to convert utf-8 to iso. But to which iso? A easy solution
is to just convert to western european iso.
thanks,
