The text encoding allows characters with accents, umlauts, i other signs. The year is 2013, and we talk about a problem that drags products OFP / ArmA since its first release.
For those who speak languages other than English, therefore i edit missions in our language, it is frustrating not being able to write well, and sometimes difficult to understand the text.
It is unclear what you are referring to. The game does accept unicode and cyrillic characters in player names and chat. Please clarify.
For example: If you create a new mission, let's say a German one. Yes, the chat and the names support characters like "ä","ö","ü" or "ß" but if I use these characters in a mission file they end up in spaces or question marks on the GUI.
I also tried "ü ;" (space between name and ; because this website translates it to a letter...) for a HTML-conform variant of "ü" but that also resulted in "?".
If I understood it right, this is what he means. Simple support for umlauts and other characters while in mission-generation.
@Astaroth , ticket can be closed.
One simply must not forget to set the text editor to UTF-8 encoding.
When UTF-8 encoding is set for the text editor, there is no problem, since ArmA supports UTF-8.
