Chinese Characters destroy in SIL file

[christoph]

Hello,
I use Delphi Tokyo with TSILang 7.9.3 and have problems with the Unicode characters. In the SILEditor in the Delphi IDE the Characters are correct.
If I save (Export) this into a sil file the Unicode characters ar broken. The Option StoreAsUTF8 is on.
I also save the Font as Tohoma and the Characterset as GB2312_Characterset for Chinese.
The PC has Chinese installed as Characterset

In Delphi everything looks fine

What is wrong here?

Thank you for your support.

Hello,

Do you export from the Translations Editor or from TsiLang Expert. Try to export from TsiLang Expert: run TsiLang Expert from the Tools menu, then select the form and click Save to File. Please check if the file will be different?

Hello Igor,

Thank you for your fast answer.

Yes, I export from the Translation Editor. Now I checked the Export from the TsiLang Expert. I get the same result with the corrupted
Chinese Characters.

Could you please send us the sample DFM + PAS and we will check this on our side?

Hello Christoph,

Thank you for the file. Could you please also send the SIL file that you create on your side from this file? Because on our side the created SIL file is just fine. But we're continuing the research.

Hello Christoph,
Many thanks for sending all the files. We've identified the problem and it is already fixed in the forthcoming 7.9.4 release. That's why everything worked fine on our side when we tested it with the development version. Just wait for the 7.9.4 release, or meantime you can use either:
1. Set StoreAsUtf8 to False then SIL file will be correct in 99% of cases as Simplified Chinese chars in most cases fall into ANSI range.
2. Use SIB file as storage. SIB will work just fine.

Or just wait till 7.9.4 release.
Thank you so much again for all the info provided.

Hello Igor,
Thank you for your answer and the solution.
Do you have an idea when Version 7.9.4 will be release?

Best regards,
Christoph
