Training Golded to play UTF-8 Part 2 By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
Golded has limited support for reading and writing messages in UTF-8. There are two ways. One is using an external editor. The other way is to use translation tables. Last week was about the first method. This week is about using translation tables.
Using translation tables. =========================
Golded uses 8 bit translation tables to convert one character set into another. Oddly enough Golded ignores the current code page setting and always uses the code page in effect when the system is booted up. At least that is how it works in Windows. Linux or OS/2 may be different. So if the systems boots up in CP850 all you will ever see in the Golded screen are the characters in the CP850 set. The character encoding scheme in the messages can be different, but the gliphs are limited to those in the CP850 set.

If you do not already have 850_UTF8.CHS and UTF8_850.CHS you can get them from my system by file request or http://www.vlist.eu/downloads/
Oddly enough the Golded translation mechanism allows for translating one byte into one or more bytes but not the other wat around. As a result all characaters in CP850 can be corectly translated into UTF-8 but the translation fom UTF-8 into CP850 is very, very limited. Actually it only works for characters in the range u+00C0 - u+00FF.
This covers the accents and umlauts but not much more.
If your system's native character set is not CP850 you will need translation tables to and from that character set.
The pros and cons of both methods. ==================================
External editor Translation tables
Pros
Support for any unicode character Easy installation. that the external editor and the Editing and formatting text underlying OS support. works as one is used to.
Cons
