I'm still using RC-WinTrans 8, going to upgrade it to the 9th version. And I'm testing the 9th demo-version. In both versions I come across one and the same problem - working with wxl-files and generating target wxl's, for example, in Korean, I can't change encoding and that's why all targets are written with "???" signs instead of Korean. Is there already any solution to this problem? Or maybe I'm missing something..

Hello lakuda,

1. go to the following RC-WinTrans (X8) installation folder:
.\RC-WinTrans X8\FileConverters\

2. use a text editor and open the XML parser stylesheet file
"MLParser-WixLocalization.xsl"

3. change the output encoding
. . . from: < xsl:output encoding="Windows-1252" />
. . . to: < xsl:output encoding="utf-8" />

Then the translated target XML files will be "utf-8" encoded.

Thanks! And what should be done in the 9th version? This file is only readable in it.

Make the same change for the stylesheet in the Version 9 installation.

With the next RC-WinTrans 9 update (builds after 9.1.0.98 (Feb. 2011)) the "MLParser-WixLocalization.xsl" will have utf-8 output.

Hello! The question of utf-8 output is resolved. But there appeared one more thing - how is it possible to make target files with different codepages depending on the language used? Now if I write wxl targets, codepage is always 1252 for any language in them.

You could use an XSL transformation to convert/copy a translated UTF-8 XML file (created by RC-WinTrans) to any encoding supported by an XSL processor (e.g. by the msxsl.exe command line tool).

Sample files: download "ConvertCodePageXMLFile.zip"
Command line: msxsl.exe UTF8-Input.xml TransformCodePage.xsl -o Win1252Output.xml
Description: transforms/copies an UTF-8 xml file ("UTF8-Input.xml") to a "Windows-1252" encoded xml file ("Win1252Output.xml").

I'm using 9.2.0.5 but the problem still persists. I can manually edit the file though.

I don't know how to "intelligently" set the code page as per culture, but at least it's possible to avoid overwriting on that code page and set it differently on RC-WinTrans UI.
This is a part of my XMLParser-WixLocalization.xsl:


<!-- **************************************************************************************************** -->
<!-- 'Culture' attribute (make a TU for the attribute and a Group for th "WixLocalization" element) -->
<xsl:template match="wx:WixLocalization">
<xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}">
<xsl:attribute name="rwt:group" >WixLocalization</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="rwt:attributeTU_Culture" >Culture</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="rwt:attributeTU_Codepage" >Codepage</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|text()|comment()|processing-instruction()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<!-- **************************************************************************************************** -->



Here, I appended a new line of 'rwt:attributeTU_Codepage'. I am not familiar with the syntax of this file but it seems to work - now I can set code pages per each culture on RC-WinTrans UI just like 'Culture' field.

Hello Scott,

adding this line with the attribute "rwt:attributeTU_Codepage" is what needs to be done to make the 'Codepage' attribute localizable.

We have also added this to our "XMLParser-WixLocalization.xsl" stylesheet. In addition the third WixLocalization attribute "Language" can now be localized as well.
The updated stylesheet will be available in RC-WinTrans 9.3 to be released at the end of June 2013.

Regards,
