Explicit Localized encodings (8 bit or multibyte encodings)
Instead of using UTF-16 you may chose to use one of the 8 bit or multibyte
encodings that are commonly used by default on localized versions of Windows
and Excel. To do so follow the next steps:
Create a source file with Strings on your language using your default localized
version of Excel as usual.
You must explicitly tell ProSoft i-View the right string encoding of your file. See below.
Export the file as usual. Excel will use the default encoding for your localization.
Import the file in ProSoft i-View. ProSoft i-View will use the explicit encoding to open
the file.
Setting a Explicit String Encoding
To set a explicit String Encoding for your file place the following command
embedded in a comment on top of your file
# %encoding
.
For example to set Japanese you can write
# %encoding Japanese/Win
