I ran into Encoding problem when I tried to use imp2ld to convert a Chinese theology terms/Encyclopedia into the module that sword can use. The input text file is a UTF-8 encoded with the format: $$$English KeyWord Chinese Translation The meaning of the term $$$.... For example: $$$Abbess 女修道院長
　為女修道院之女領袖，其職任不如男修道院長設立之早，其權亦不如男修道院長之大。有時亦管理男修道院。 $$$Abbey 修道院 　又稱*Monastery。原為一修道士團之名稱，由一位院長管理。以後他們所居住之屋宇、禮拜堂等，概稱為修道院。 $$$Abbot 修道院長 　為修道院領袖之稱，意即父也。修道院長原係平信徒，從第七世紀起，教會定為聖職。通常為其本院弟兄所選舉，其職任乃終身。 $$$Abbot, George 阿波特（1562-1633） 　英國教宗；坎特布里大主教；*聖經欽定本的合編者。 $$$Abelard, Peter or Abailard 亞比拉（1079-1142） I used imp2ld to generate the module. There were many errors about invalid characters. But it neverthless generated the module. The problem is the module characters are saved in wrong encoding. I tried different encodings to read and none of them make the charater understandable as shown below: Abbey ä¿®éé¢ ãå稱*Monasteryãåçºä¸ä¿®é士åä¹å稱ï¼ç±ä¸ä½é¢é·ç®¡çã以å¾ä»åæå± ä½ä¹å±å®ã禮æå çï¼æ¦ç¨±çºä¿®éé¢ã Abbot ä¿®éé¢é· ãçºä¿®éé¢é è¢ä¹ç¨±ï¼æå³ç¶ä¹ãä¿®éé¢é·åä¿å¹³ä¿¡å¾ï¼å¾ç¬¬ä¸ä¸ç´èµ·ï¼ææå®çºèè·ãé常çºå ¶æ¬é¢å¼å æé¸èï¼å ¶è·ä»»ä¹çµèº«ã Abbot, George é¿æ³¢ç¹ï¼1562-1633ï¼ Does anyone experience this and knows how to solve this problem? BTW, I have a couple of short java programs that generate the above format Dictionary file and Bible text so you can use impl2vs and impl2ld to convert them into sword modules. I will be glad to put the code some where for share if someone interest in it.
