That leaves Plan B of re-editing the MZ Crime and Police - Language File - Polish - v1.311Cricket.dat file such that it's almost Polish.
The only possible hope would be if someone like would code a special LText editor, but I suspect that would be an extreme amount of work and even then it might not be possible to hook into the right Unicodes. At this point it's completely beyond anything CB or I know how to fix.
This proves that whatever editor Maxis themselves used was more sophisticated and did not have any trouble reading and writing the necessary Unicodes for the special characters which Polish uses.Īs an additional test, I followed this guide and set my spare comp to Polish for non-Unicode programs in the hopes that Reader might link into the language via some sort of API call, but that didn't help either. That's exactly what we feared was going on. Copying the LText entry from one file (the Polish SimCityLocale.dat) to another file without modifying it in any way and Reader can save it ok.
