Multilingual support

[uzaemon]

Do you have plan to support language other than English?

I'm using IBM i in DBCS (Japanese) environment.
ILEditor crushes when I list source member which have DBCS text.
I changed member text to SBCS (English) and could open the source member, but DBCS part of the source text shows [SUB]s.
Just for your information, I use CCSID 1399 for both job and source file.

Thank you for your great work!

Hi @uzaemon

I am aware of the issue, but sadly do not have an environment to I can fix and test on.

You are more than welcome to open a PR to have a go!

Many thanks,

Hello Barry,

Yesterday, I installed Visual Studio for the first time in my life.
I read the source code and noticed points below.

Source member and its text are transferred/converted by FTP.
When code conversion is necessary, FTP seems to work in ASCII mode.
For non-ASCII languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Greek, etc.,
FTP client should issue "quote type C xxx" where xxx is destination CCSID.
To handle most EBCDIC characters, I recommend to set destination CCSID to 1208 (utf-8).
Fortunately, AvalonEdit (WPF Text Editor) supports utf-8.
(https://www.codeproject.com/Search.aspx?fid=1549544&sbo=fm&qf=unicode&x=0&y=0)
EBCDIC CCSID can be found at file CCSID in most cases.

As I'm novice Visual Studio (C#) programmer, I can't open PR...
I hope someone can help this issue.

Thank you and have a nice weekend!
