[sword-devel] swlocale question

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Matthew,

Are you sure you want the encoding of the locale?  They should all be in
 UTF-8 if you are using a unicode enabled sword lib.

SWLocale::getEncoding merely returns the [Meta] Encoding= entry from the
locale file.  If one does not have an entry, then it will be null.

But again, the most common scenario is that your
StringMgr::hasUTF8Support() will return true, and in this case the
engine should only return the UTF-8 versions of locales.

	-Troy.
