Display Turkish Characters

[stubon]

Hi,

I am in the process of making my LabVIEW code multi-lingual.

I have an excel spreadsheet with a lookup for all the languages. It includes German, French, Spanish, Norwegian and Turkish which all have special characters and display OK.

e.g. the following all display OK

Spanish: Inicialización detector ..
Norwegian: Initialiserer Måling Sensor, Ingeniør
German: Initialisierung Gerät .

I noticed that the Turkish i=ı and s=ş are not appearing correctly

i.e Dedektör çalıştırılıyor  appears as Dedektör çalistiriliyor

It seems that all Microsoft Office programs display them OK as do webbrowsers.

I know that in EditPad (like Notepad) if I change the text encoding to Windows 1254 the characters display OK.

I've tried playing with this user example, but I'm not sure if it's the right approach or what settings I should use.

Does anyone know how I can enable them to display in LabVIEW?

Many thanks

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for posting, unfortunately LabVIEW does not support unicode characters. The only method of you being able to see this is if you add the following line to C:\Program Files [(x86)]\National Instruments\[LabVIEW]\LabVIEW.ini

UseUnicode=True

 After restarting LabVIEW, you should be able to see the characters.

Again, I must stress that this is unsupported by National Instruments and that this function might work incorrectly in future versions.

I hope this helps,
