[Scilab-Dev] Test report of Chinese (or multibytes languages in general) locale mesages with Scilab 5-beta-1

[Yung-Jang Lee]

Sorry,

The files I send have two bugs due to copy and paste mistake,

----------localetoutf.c-----------------------------------
BOOL  openLocaleToUTFConverter(char *sysLocale,char *lang)
{
      // Assume sysLocale in lang_contry.charset or  lang_contry format
      //
      // Ex. en_US, zh_TW.CP950, zh_CN.UTF-8
      //
      char encoding[5];
      char * pch=strchr ( sysLocale, '.');//<-------------------------------
this line missing
      if(pch){
-----------------------------------------------------------------

and
--------------------getLocaleInfo_Windows.c-----------------------------
            // BY YJLee get Windows CODE Page Information\ <---- should
delete last  character
            int ret = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,
                        LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please check it.
