Multilingual dbf ?

[quartz565]

Hi all!
It is possible to put different languages in a dbf file (eg Russian, German, Greek, Spanish, etc.)

hi,

i "think" YES ... if you use UNICODE to display String.
while OEM (NTX) use Codepage i recommend to use FoxPro compatible DBF.

but still some Problem left e.g. Nation "Date-String" which need different PICTURE to validate.

Hi Serge

The same thing happened to me when I tried to load
translations from https://translate.google.com/?hl=es
Copy and Paste to HMG Data Base Assistant "DBA"
on the contrary I pass compile the Sample with the DBF
without any data and I was pasting each record from
the translator and then with Botton Exit perform Save
and so I stay, ignore why it goes wrong one way and
not another.
if you look the PRg is UTF-8 and in the source code
this language is purposely canceled, I have only left
SET CODEPAGE TO UNICODE

Virtual Greetings

With copy and paste from google translate directly to the grid of the program, I have this result.
After the save, everything remains.

Hi Serge
Delete the entire sample.dbf base with ZAP
start the sample the Grid with nothing
Translate with Google and Copy, then start Paste
in the Grid.
End with Exit Button, the different ones are saved
Languages , as Nikos indicates
