Chinese: German umlauts work pretty well in single-byte Characters and Swedish, which is listed as single-byte, has the same umlauts and then some ...That's because they all use the same encoding and code page--ISO 8859.1, Roman 1, includes characters for most Western European languages like German, French, Italian, Spanish, even English. On Windows, all those systems use the same code page, 1252.
I've been using the English version of director on German localized OSen for seven years now and I never had to that romanLingo lingo.
You start running into problems with Cyrillic, Turkish, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and other languages that use other [single-byte] encodings, and code pages other than 1252.
Cordially,
