Language support (text encoding)

Text encoding specifies the character set to be used by Genero Studio. You can change the default encoding to work in your preferred language.

To support internationalization, characters typed at the keyboard are intercepted and changed automatically, based on the text encoding method selected.

A default character set is specified in Tools >> Preferences, General Preferences. This default text encoding method is the one found on your system. To use encodings for a different language, select a different text encoding choice from the list. In addition, text encoding plugins can be configured, which are loaded at startup to provide new encoding support.

Since the default encodings are much faster than plug-ins, users are strongly advised to use the provided encodings unless there are no other solutions.

The selected encoding is used during file operations of text documents (load, save, parsing, highlighting, and so on), so the encoding must be correctly set before opening documents. Once loaded, Genero Studio uses Unicode for text management.
