Hello, I have submitted Slovenian Vim menu translation a while ago while I was still using XP (and then didn't use Windows for ages; menu translations don't work with Aqua Vim at all) and the encoding worked properly.
Now I tried it on Windows 7 and discovered that the language is set to Slovenian_Slovenia.1250. That might be a bit weird. The native encoding used to be cp1250 indeed (at least in XP), but it could be that Windows 7 now tries to use utf-8 whenever possible ... but I don't really know. The problem is that now I get translation Pomoé (eacute) instead of Pomoč (ccaron) for "Help". S and Z with caron (šž) are missing completely, so there's a big bunch of wrong translations. Some deeper insight: In cp1250 the character č is located at C8 and E8. In ISO-8859-1 (or Unicode, for that matter) there is egrave or the same location (maybe I need to check again once I'm on Windows whether that character is egrave or eacute). The characters š and ž are at (8A/9A) and (8E/9E). All four positions are empty in Latin1 and Unicode. Which might be a reasonble explanation of the behaviour I'm observing. I didn't try to modify any setting. I'm just using the defaults of what gvim 7.2 for windows provides. I tried to rename files afterwards, but with zero success. It might be a problem in either the source code or the script that takes care of choosing the right menu encoding. The English version doesn't suffer at all, and most other menu translations are in Latin1 anyway, so nobody using that translation should notice the problem even if it is more widespread. The only languages apart from Slovenian sharing the same encoding are Czech/Slovak/Polish. Does anyone have a hint how to solve this problem? Does it work OK for Czech/Slovak/Polish users on Windows 7? Thanks a lot, Mojca PS: I already had a related problem years ago. I read at http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/version7.html: BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7* When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak" starts with "sl". Could this be related, just in another way? -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
