String is nothing than set of bytes, You can store anything to the String. In fact, it is as widely used to store binary data as to store texts.

However, when it comes to internationalization, you have to define (somewhere) encoding of characters in bytes. Now for legacy support, U++ allows you to set a global encoding for application. New applications should use UTF-8 there and the rest of library is able to handle that (performing all necessary conversions on the fly).

If you are about to process i18n texts as character array, you will probably use 16-bit WString. There are implicit conversions between WString and String using global encoding.

A little bit unrelated issue is internationalization of application (which for most time means, translation of texts). Description of U++ i18n features can be found here:

fox has removed wstring...
and adie recognizes international languages and converts automatically. Can U++ users have the same?

WString != std::wstring.

What do you mean by "adie recognizes international languages and converts automatically"?

Yes, I have tried that path (single String for everything, encoding stored with String, with the possibility of storing 16-bit values) too, proved very limiting and hard to use.

RichEdit is completely unrelated here, however, in RichEdit/RichText the language is character style - you can have as many langs in single text as you want...

Great!Great!Great! It's unrelated Smile But it really works in UWord Smile. You need to click on the body of drop-down list on the left of spellcheck button... Uhh, documentation... I'll go through the sources.

P.S. That should switch your keyboard or should be switchable from keyboard ... Smile

Well, I know that at one time, some Win32 apps had behaviour to change the language of characters entered to the one actually setup for keyboard. I always considered that as the most annoying Smile

I do not know what current behavour in MS Word is, but OpenOffice writer has it unrelated to kbd settings...

Does it mean that I need to change the settings in UWord and then try to adjust the keyboard by switching it, like it is now, or there are some hidden key combinations?... Smile

Yes. Keyboard and current language are unrelated.
