[Interface/I18n] Support iso charsets / unicode and use OS keyboard Layout

(1/2) > >>

klei:
Hello Devs and Users,

 I would be very happy to see two new features in FOnline 2238.

1) Auto detect and use OS Keyboard Layout instead of fixed US/RUS.
2) Add UTF-8/UNICODE character set support.

I would be most pleased, if I would be able to use my own keyboard layout as it is printed on my Keyboard's buttons.

I'm a quick-typewriter, I don't look at the keys when I write with a keyboard and it is very hard for me to switch between different layouts (it is very annoying actually). It also starts happening, that I use the wrong characters at my real life workplace due to FOnline (the more I chat in FOnline, the more I mess up the characters I write with a non US normal layout)

Also, there are unique characters in the German, Polish, Czech, Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian and other languages I forgot to mention, which I would like to see in FOnline just like I can see now Russian characters.

If FOnline uses special graphical character tables, I selflessly volunteer to extend the tables to a (limited) UNICODE version or to several ISO format versions.

Best regards,
 klei

Please please PLEASE implement this ASAP! It shouldn't be hard to do, and it would really help us non-US, non-Russian people.

Thanks in advance.

First, I speak English in-game. Plus, all Latin keyboards have the Latin chars in the exact same place, but the symbols are all off. For example if I try to ask "Is anyone selling armors?" it will display "Is anyone selling armors_". And so on. It's very annoying.
