Developers-Hints wiki page: Character encoding in resource file translations

[Frédéric Delanoy]

Hi all,

According to http://wiki.winehq.org/Developers-Hints on the
"http://wiki.winehq.org/Developers-Hints", AFAICT  the resource
files should generally
- use the default Windows codepage for the specified language
or
- use UTF-8 surround with "#pragma code_page(65001)" at the top of the
file and "#pragma code_page(default)" at the bottom

Which of the encoding is preferred? UTF-8 ?

Furthermore,
- the "65001" should probably be replaced by "utf8" (I checked in
tools/wrc/parser.l:373) [ which would be better IMNSHO in new/updated
resource file]
- the link to the list of codepages is broken; it should be
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(VS.85).aspx

Do the Windows/Mingw resource compilers support utf8 there?

No, they don't.

No, that's why using 65001 is preferable.
