GreenLight Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Hi all! To improve support for international characters, it would be really nice if Cakewalk supported UTF-8 character encoding of all text fields. That way, non-English characters could be used by the user in text fields in the application. Fields that I have found troublesome: Track names Take lane description Track description in Inspector Browser Notes Below is an example of using Swedish characters "å ä ö" in Cakewalk. You can type them and save... But after re-opening, they are turned to Klingon: ? Keep up the great work!

I'm not seeing that issue with the latest CbB: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 @msmcleod Thanks for your test! Oh, I'm sorry I'm still on 2020.01! I have been following the changes ever since closely and didn't recall seeing any changes about character encoding, but you guys surely must have done some improvements there. Sorry to have wasted your time! ?♂️? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Windows 10 (version 1909). And so are you, judging by the blue mouse cursor "loading ring" in the animation? ? So then it's probably the newer Cakewalk version that fixes it?

Maybe, but I can't see anything we've done since then that would suddenly cause this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will upgrade to 2020.05 soon, after finishing an important project and will check again then. Regional settings in Windows should not affect saving in applications, right?

AFAIK though, Windows 10 is all Unicode, so language settings just select your preferred code page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
