Hello, I need to develop a screen which uses all Russian labels, command buttons, static text displays, etc. For example, instead of "Hello", command button would display "Привет". This would need to work for input as well as display.
What would be specific way to accomplish this? Code examples would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Hi Alexander;

   Since Appeon PB is fully Unicode compliant under the UTF-16LE standard, the display and capture of Russian characters would not be a problem. For example ...

  However, there is no Russian based PB run-time - so you will need to stay away from "built-in" features like MessageBox() for example that will not display the OK & CANCEL command buttons in Russian. Instead, you will need to develop your own application based Message Box dialogue.

  The next thing will be to handle your own "Regional Settings" for handling of Date, Time and Monetary formats.There may also be issues with running your Apps under a Russian version of MS-Windows vs a Russian PB App running under an English MS-Window version (as another consideration).

HTH

Regards ... Chris

There are no known widespread compatibility issues running PowerBuilder apps on Windows OS in Russian or any other language for that matter. The other issues you mentioned definitely need to be addressed to properly localize the app.

Chris, 

Thanks, can you please share a detailed code you used to accomplish your display of Russian in a command button?

Hi Alexander;

No special coding ... just typed (or you could just paste) the Russian syllables into the CB's "text" property ... and voila - WYSIWYG! :-)
