[Scilab-Dev] PATCH for set/get environment variables

[Allan CORNET]

Hi,

I do some tests about localization , on a windows XP Multilanguage :

I set "Regional and Language options" in control panel Windows:

1] Macau , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus enabled

2] P.R.C , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus disabled

3] Singapore , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus disabled

4] Hong Kong , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus enabled

5] Taiwan , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus enabled 

6] Taiwan , scilab language zh_TW --> Menus disabled


Why 2] and 6] do not work ?

Allan

Hi,

>
> Launch scilab and setdefaultlanguage('zh_CN')

Under my  Chinee-Traditional (language 'zh_TW') Windows, and set

  setdefaultlanguage('zh_TW')
  setdefaultlanguage('zh_CN)
  setdefaultlanguage('fr_FR')
  setdefaultlanguage('ru_RU')

for test, menus for 'zh_TW' and 'zh_CN' is OK, but with gray menu for 'fr_FR' and 'ru_RU' .

I think it dependents on the code page of the Windows system currently  used. And it is not a serious bug since most users don't set default language not compatible with system encoding.

If we want to resolve this bug, may be we should add a encoding argument to  'setdefaultlanguage' for example,


  setdefaultlanguage('zh_TW','BIG5')

or

setdefaultlanguage('ru_RU','CP1251')
