If you are able to use Python, it does a good job of making file
operations universal. For example, it converts /x/y/z.txt/n to
x\y\z.txt\r\n for Windows.

AFAIK, Only a few special characters are not allowed in the various file
systems.
We ought to avoid a systemic bias to the English language or even the
Latin script when we design software.
Easy to agree in principle but not so easy to implement successfully.
Localisation of the UI is only part of the task.
I wish you every success, Tobias.

Thanks Greg & Troy for pointing out these potential issues. No, I have
not tested my code properly with non-ascii characters in paths / file
names.
I suppose this would particularly be an issue if the username has
certain characters that cause issues? (applicable for the ~/.sword
directory). And then also, when arbitrary folders are added to SWMgr?!
I’ll do some testing in this area!
I wonder whether libraries like Qt or Boost have solved these kind of
issues somehow …

Tobias,
Has this been tested with file paths that contain characters outside
of the basic ASCII code range? That's where current Sword fails. Not
in fetching the data for the paths themselves, but the actual calls to
fopen and friends, on Windows, do not understand non ASCII data.
It looks like your code would suffer similar to other Sword code,
which eventually passes through the library's fopen calls.

Maybe not a full-fledged FileMgr class, but at least everything I
need in Ezra Project at the moment:

https://github.com/tobias-klein/node-sword-interface/blob/master/src/sword_backend/file_system_helper.cpp
It works on Windows, macOS and Linux.

I know Greg has sent me a link to the patch you guys apply to get
Xiphos
to run well on Win32, but I have searched through all my past emails
with every relevant term I can thing of, and still can't find it.
I am
sorry, Could you possibly sent that again? I think you guys were
using
glib routines. If possible, I'd like to include something in
SWORD more
generic, possibly using native Win32 calls. I've done something
similar
for a couple projects in the past and need to find all that code.
The
only one I keep thinking of off the top of my head is swordreader's
wince layer, which I believe is similar to win32 methods, but
might need
some adapting.
http://crosswire.org/svn/swordreader/trunk/src/Dll1/winceSword/src/
The Xiphos code would be very helpful, if not just for finding
everyplace you needed to make a modification. Thanks for any help
finding it,
Troy
