If you wish to convert a string that will be inserted into a stream to a character encoding other than US-ASCII, UTF-8 or UTF-16, you will require the Internationalization Module.

The Internationalization Module converts to and from any supported character encoding to UTF-16. This conversion allows you to write applications in character encodings that require a wide character format (16-bits or greater), such as some Chinese and Japanese character encodings.

In some cases, you will be required to convert these UTF-16 strings and to UTF-8 for use in other SourcePro modules. See the relevant User’s Guide for each module’s requirements.

For more information on the supported character encodings, or other information on internationalization and localization of your applications, see the Internationalization Module User’s Guide.
