Hallo! I want to address dear moderators with such a question: why doesn‘t TDR discern and depict on screen the Russian type (print)? If we (russian fans) want to communicate in the International section we have to either write in English or transform our words in the Latin script and it is rather inconvenient to do and then to read it, you know, just feels as if we‘re violating our language. We would like to be able to preserve the written language of ours when submitting messages. What is necessary to do for this, I mean, is some special programme necessary? If it‘s possible to change it, let‘s do it.

Visa is the programmer, but I think that if it could be done easily he would’ve already done so.

I am not sure but I think the problem is that then everybody else outside Russia would see weird icons instead of the russian alphabet.. and that’s certainly not so nice. Same with chinesse or anything else that’s not the “occidental” typing

The current implementation of TDR uses ISO-8859-1 (also known as ISO-Latin) character set and doesn’t support Cyrillic alphabets. This will probably get fixed some time next year, but I’m not promising anything.

TDR and SmallTalk have been designed for the English language and if other languages work, it’s great, but they’re not “officially” supported.
