now or in the future

Yes it's supported.

- The text editor in Gideros Studio works with utf-8 encoding by default.
- TextField display object correctly displays utf-8 strings.
- URLLoader correctly handles utf-8 strings.

thanks!
could you please show me some sample code for how to make a TextField to show chinese ,I use following code from the samples

local font1 = Font.new("BILLO___.txt", "BILLO___.png")
local scoreLabel = TextField.new(font1,"我们: abc")

and add the scoreLabel to stage
It only show abc
this is because the font1 does not contain any chinese character
I use a ttf file downloaded from
http://www.sj00.com/download.php?a_k=XQ8DUAcDBEVRX1kQREJeGE1cXBMLTEZbUwcfUglaDFsFHXYqYB13DFkWQktTWg1ZB0tWSyIgfh4LVl9IDxhQClhXHdyJ4Paz592d2MIcHl4SHldZVURGDEVDDABVBg9WAAULVgIUWBMKUwNVHgZVGVMKC0pdUhNcXgc=
and export two files using the font creator ,howerver it still does not work

Hi,

You need to create a bitmap font that contains your Chinese characters. I couldn't download your font but I created a bitmap font (which includes ascii characters + 我 + 们) from simhei.ttf and be able to display Chinese.

You can download the example here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/684866/for alexzheng.zip

hi,atilim
thanks a lot
I wonder how to produce the simhei.txt and simhei.png, exported from font creator??
what's the ttf file you imported to font creator

atilim · October 2011

Hi,

I'm using Windows XP. When I install East Asian language files (as described here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/int_pr_install_languages.mspx) simhei.ttf is installed to my fonts folder.

Then I copied simhei.ttf to desktop and opened it within Gideros Font Creator. I added extra chars (我, 们) and exported simhei.png and simhei.txt. Here is a screenshot:

@alexzheng localization support is implemented! :-) Thanks!

gorkem · December 2011

@alexzheng - I was going over the forum and seen your localization question again and wanted to clarify things a bit - by localization, did you mean "using different language strings within the same application" ?

alexzheng · December 2011

@gorkem "using different language strings within the same application"--yes,exactly

alexzheng · July 2012

@alexzheng localization support is implemented! :-) Thanks!

Hi,@gorkem ,any code snippet for using the official localization implementation?

for my current simple job,I can just define different languages and choose the right one according to the result of application:getLocale or application:getLanguage.

local text = {
		en = {
			EAZY = "EAZY",
			INTERMEDIATE = "INTERMEDIATE",
			HARD = "HARD",
			CANCEL = "CANCEL",
		},
 
		zh = {
			EAZY = "初级",
			INTERMEDIATE = "中级",
			HARD = "高级",
			CANCEL = "取消",
		}
	}

thanks for the good job

Well this method is ok when you know what text you have, but what if the text is for example news, and I want to display it for reading>? Would I just load the TTF file the same as other TTF files?

good job!

you can use this code to load the TTF file directly !
local font = TTFont.new('STCAIYUN.ttf', 15)
