5.5's Unicode Enhancements

[SirWobbyTheFirst]

Hello everyone.

Recently I read an article about how during the early years, it was nigh-on impossible to change the language of Windows 9x/ME to anything but English and get a correct translation and it got me thinking about how LC could be displayed in alternate languages and how I could get my software to be displayed in alternate languages like German, Chinese and so on and I was wondering if the new Unicode features in 5.5 would allow me to write text as English but have it translated by the operating system automatically.

So like if I done 'Set The UnicodeText Of Field "Hello World" To UniEncode("Hello World!")' would it display in an alternate language on a computer that used said language? I would try myself using the UnicodeText property and switching the language used by my copy of Windows but I have a very OCD like nature on the size and position of any applications windows (No seriously, Chris has liked at me like I'm some kind of weirdo on how dedicated I am to making sure everything lines up, Windows 8 Aero was a god send with the square borders. XD) and don't want to find a Chinese character has blown Windows Explorer into the 7th dimension because I changed the language.

Kind regards, Mike.
PS. Yes my OCD is truly that bad, some people make sure the door is locked before leaving the house, not me, I make sure my computer windows are the right size and position.
