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

[Yung-Jang Lee]

 Sylvestre,

Yesterday I send my mail to dev. list with two attached files.

I am not familiar with svn, so I send the files again to you
(chinesePatch.rar and ScilabWinJava.png) .

If still trouble in receiving files let me know.
