Hello All, Some context, I am one of the programmers of a software pkg ( https://jasp-stats.org/) that uses an embedded instance of R to do statistics. And make that a bit easier for people who are intimidated by R or like to have something more GUI oriented.
We have been working on translating the interface but ran into several problems related to encoding of strings. We prefer to use UTF-8 for everything and this works wonderful on unix systems, as is to be expected. Windows however is a different matter. Currently I am working on some local changes to "do_gettext" and some related internal functions of R to be able to get UTF-8 encoded output from there. But I ran into a bit of a problem and I think this mailinglist is probably the best place to start. It seems that if I have an R package that specifies "Encoding: UTF-8" in DESCRIPTION the literal strings inside the package are converted to the local codeset/codepage regardless of what I want. Is it possible to keep the strings in UTF-8 internally in such a pkg somehow?
