The text strings just won't be in Japanese.
What will they be?
Are you sure?

English, of course. The whole point of Unicode is to support multiple languages.
Really, if you're not targeting an international audience, then why bother with Unicode? Save yourself some memory.

And wether your program supports it or not, I can type Japanese into any windows control you use. It will drop to question marks when I'm done typing. Do you have any idea how annoying that is, and how much I want to severely maul the programmer who wrote the program? What is particularly annoying is when the program asks for a file and I want to use one that has a Kanji filename.
Quote:Original post by raydogI'd rather not try to predict where the user will want to type Unicode text. Better to use it from the beginning than to hear complaints later on.Quote:Original post by Erzengeldeslichtes

Yes, that's a very good point. Typing in Unicode characters in a common dialog box that opens
and saves files probably won't work as expected in a program that doesn't support Unicode.
Hey, if you're writing a program like Explorer that needs to display a Unicode system file directory,
then yeah, it might important, but I'm not. :)
