How to edit an Unicode .nsh
Hi experts,
I want NSIS support my language (Vietnamese) for modern UI.
I edit a file Vietnamese.nsh. The problem is that NSIS only accept ASSCCI file, I need Unicode to display my language.
So what should I do ?
Thank you in advance,
V.

A small explanation,
I know how to deal with Language support. If I use ANSI .nsh file, it works well. The only problem that Vietnamese language can not be display only with ANSI, it needs Unicode for some special characters. NSIS does not seem to support UNICODE !? as I know so far. Because when I used Unicode, the NSIS compiler showed error saying that it can not understand UNICODE.

NSIS doesn't support Unicode. You'd have to use just letters available in the code page.

Do you developers intend to support UNICODE in near future ???
I think it's better to do so because many many languages in this world only display correctly with UNICODE.

I'm not a NSIS developer, but I want to tell you something. Man, I would kill for unicode, but many many developing tools are not good with unicode... OS himself is not good with unicode. Today, developing UNICODE software IS a problem.
