foreign languages in the script editor

[ron]

Hi Lars,

This is the one place where I can consistently make rev crash - using 
unicode in the script editor.


I use two approaches for my app using Japanese/Korean/Chinese and they 
work for me.  The first works with menus that don't have any submenus, 
the second approach is for those with submenus so you have to use the 
name.
1. put the menuhistory of me into pWhichItem
   switch pWhichItem
case 1
.....
case 2
.....
etc


2. I unidecode the pWhichItem before trying to switch the case.
put unidecode(pWhichItem,"japanese") into pWhichItem
   switch pWhichItem
   case "検索を保存..."


HTH. Note also Kenji's solution in a previous post.
