Do the TGB support other language, like German. ?
I save one of my script in unicode and run the game. The content of in that file cannot be displayed.


Is there any topic about translation of language?

Not sure if this article is specific to TGE owners or not so hopefully you will be able to get to it.

Anyways here is a link to Localization with Torque. It should apply to TGB as well.

German characters are not unicode.
They are regular 256 ASCII characters.

Marc,
In dos codepage 866, Cyrillic characters are in 256 too. But we are talking about special characters, that does not included in base latin alphabet in Torque.
E.g. the symbol u" is saved a combination of two characters: C3 BC (in HEX).

From Wikipedia/UTF-8:
Quote:UTF-8 uses one to four bytes (strictly, octets) per character, depending on the Unicode symbol. Only one byte is needed to encode the 128 US-ASCII characters (Unicode range U+0000 to U+007F). Two bytes are needed for Latin letters with diacritics and for characters from Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac and Thaana alphabets (Unicode range U+0080 to U+07FF).

edit: blah, this forum does not like the non-standard Latin characters..
