I am trying to make my VB application accept different languages.
I read from a folder which contains ini files in there locales
(en_US.ini, el_EL.ini, fr_FR.ini etc)
The problem is that if the ini file is saved in ANSI encoding, the
characters don't appear normal (the toned "e" in france appears as a
theta (greek character) beacuase my WinXP supports greek as the
applications primary encoding). I tried saving the ini files in unicode
but I get wierd characters probably because it is trying to get ANSI
characters (the same result as if a web page is saved in greek
ISO-8859-7 and change the encoding to Unicode).
I am using the module (which I don't remember where I found it :P) :
http://pek.ekei.com/libINIFunctions.bas
(URL is case-sensitive)
Can someone help me..?
Is there already a library or source code that already does this so I
can implement..?

P.S. Character encoding is my worst enemy.

I guess you can't view another locale ie french on a greek computer. Using
the app on a computer with a french install will most likely work.
