Enable Chinese (UTF-8) Function Names

[stuff123]

Since UTF 8 characters may not be used for function names, is there a SciTE extension that would, upon file open and save, automatically convert a set of function names into their UTF 8 counterpart and back.

In other words, SciTE should display a set of alphanumeric UDF names in Simplified Chinese without changing the source. (There would be some type of conversion table provided)

Thanks

About 2) which encoding would you use for function names?

Post an example of what you'd like to have.

The encoding could be "GB2312", but SciTE may know it by other aliases.

I imagine the following scenario:

• The conversion to Chinese function names would occur as one first opens their ".au3" file
• Subsequently, each time that a "save" operation occurs, these names would be converted back to its alphanumeric forms and then saved.

Example:

I would like the SciTE editor to display the following:

Func 函数1($aArg = 1)

        ...

EndFunc

函数1()

when in reality, the source is saved as:

Func Function1($aArg = 1)

    ...

EndFunc

Function1()

One possible way to do that:

write your functions like this: Func MyFunc(arg1, arg2, ...) ; 函数1
write LUA scripts to perform both conversions to/from Func 函数1(arg1, arg2, ...) ; MyFunc
ask Jos how to force conversion at open/close of .au3 files (or link each script to a hotkey).

Thanks, online tutorials were sufficient for the purpose
