The best solution is 4, we try to use a single file per language. If
encoding is an issue you can convert the file to utf-8.

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for your answer. But UTF-8 does not work for Chinese resource file.
/tools/wrc requires the Chinese strings in codepage 936(GB) or 950(big5).

Mixing codepage 936(GB) or 950(Big5) could cause future maintenance
problem as Gb and Big5 codes can not be edited at same time. It will
be corrupted if opened and then saved by a Unicode editor.

I suggest that we put Simplified and Traditional Chinese in separate
files just as you did for dlls. So any of option 1,2,3 will do.

Please tell me your preference so I can start working on it.

Regards
Hongbo Ni

You have to add a #pragma codepage, look at how this is done in other
files.
