[quote dee]Hi, can anyone please explain to me how to display unicode characters in the menus? it doesnt work in Kmeleon1.02 cos menus.cfg can only be saved in ANSI and UTF-8. When u try this with ANSI, Kmeleon  will replace all my unicode chars with the nearest ANSI possible.
for UTF-8, it will replace them with question marks and strange charcaters.

I upgraded to Kmeleon 1.1 but its no use since kmeleon.kmm also must be saved in either ANSII or UTF-8, if i save in UNICODE, my custom menus are not loaded at all and only the default menu is loaded.[/quote]

As desga2 already mentioned, K-Meleon 1.0 and 1.1 do not support Unicode. Translations of [url=http://freenet-homepage.de/CoolMcKluus/software/kmeleon/project/reference/localization/menus.html]menus, macros, toolbars[/url] and [url=http://freenet-homepage.de/CoolMcKluus/software/kmeleon/project/reference/localization/binaries.html]binaries[/url] have to be given in the Windows code page of the target system. In case of Western languages (English, French, German, Spanish, ...) this is Windows-1252.

[quote dee]for example, about russian version, are all russian characters in ANSI format?, if not how did they achieve this.[/quote]

The Russian translation is given in the codepage of the Russian Windows (Windows-1251), consequently.

K-Meleon 1.5 will probably be the last version supporting Win9X (which does not support Unicode). The 1.5 k-meleon.exe is a Unicode build for WinNT only, k-meleonW9x.exe is an ANSI build for Win9X. Currently, I can't tell you whether 1.5 will (or even can) support Unicode (i.e. UTF-8) for translations. We're still in beta stage...[/quote]
