anyway to change any text language in autoit ?

[madasraka]

i am trying to make text in other language then English.

but when i type the text in scite all i see is ???????? and msgbox says the same.

How can i make text in other language ?

Haven't done it myself but a quick check gives the following information:

Information about Unicode support in AutoIt can be found in the help file: AutoIt -> Using AutoIt -> Unicode Support.

SciTE has some Information in: SciTE documentation -> Paragraph: Encodings

[jchd]

You need to switch your input source .au3 to UTF-8 + BOM. Then you may enter whatever Unicode character you need. Be aware that the font you use in Scite will only display a limited range, but this is a cosmetic issue only.

There are a number of post related to this issue, which you'll find using the forum search feature.

Follow up if you still have problems.

Thank you so much. it works like a charm.

File/Encoding/UTF8 encoded with BOM in scite worked like a charm.

One more detail: should you need to ConsoleWrite text containing characters not mapped in your ANSI setting, you can use the alternative below which will hapilly display Unicode text (again, limited to what the selected font allows):

Func _ConsoleWrite($sString)
    Local $aResult = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "WideCharToMultiByte", "uint", 65001, "dword", 0, "wstr", $sString, "int", -1, _
                                "ptr", 0, "int", 0, "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0)
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, @error, 0)
    Local $tText = DllStructCreate("char[" & $aResult[0] & "]")
    $aResult = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "WideCharToMultiByte", "uint", 65001, "dword", 0, "wstr", $sString, "int", -1, _
                            "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tText), "int", $aResult[0], "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0)
    If @error Then Return SetError(2, @error, 0)
    ConsoleWrite(DllStructGetData($tText, 1))
EndFunc

just use INI file and name it "lang.ini" You can also adding multi-language support!

Regards

[madasraka]

what do you mean by lang.ini ? and how do i add language support ?

Once i hit compile button changes are made instantly and file is saved.

I found that if i mark file as read only and then compile, it stays in language i need rather then jumping back to english.

Thanks but i need more info on your advice.

first thing download the file lang.rar extract the file in the same directory with the au3/exe file then CLICK

$Q = MsgBox(0x4, "", "Do you speak English?")
If $Q = 6 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", get_lang('EN'))
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", get_lang('AR'))
EndIf


Func get_lang($lang)
    $var = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\lang.ini", $lang, "1", "NotFound")
    Return $var
EndFunc   ;==>get_lang

good luck

Its not helping

1st i thought i can compile if set script file to read only

Now thats not working no more

Right click/Compile (X86) works fine but icon is set to default autoit icon regardless of what "#AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=file.ico" says.

But it compiles it in language its written.

Right click/Compile will compile in X64 by default and i dont want that.

Right Click/Compile with options will open the file, change its encoding to default, save the file and then compile it with changed encoding thus screwing up the code.

I still need help.

I attached the file (project is not finished but functioning)

When compiled its all ????????????? unless i follow the step above which does not compile file with an icon i chose.

I guess wrapper needs some fixing (surgery).

Thanks. I hope issue gets resolved.

Please take a look what's the problem?!!

[madasraka]

so then why if script compiled with Right click/Compile makes it look right and compiling it with options doesn't ?

If compiled without options then it does support it and it does work right. Its the "Compile with options" what makes it look like ??????? all over, not the compiler its self.

Oh never mind,"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2exe_x64.exe" does the job right without changing the script.

I wish right click Menu would bring up this compile options dialog instead of one it currently does. (which changes your script without even asking you about it )
