Hi Tobias, generally SWORD defaults to always return UTF-8. Depending on what
you do with the string returned from your function, in Windows you may or may
not get nice results. Also, to check, we do have multiple locales for German.
The de-utf8 locale is preferred if SWORD is compiled with a StringMgr which
understands Unicode. How are you compiling SWORD on Windows? With ICU?
