Hello there,
I'm recently started to tinker with a simple VDJ plugin. I created button for a feature. I used DeclareParameterButton() to create it. When I gave my button a fancy name (in my language which sadly contains non-ASCII characters) the VirtualDJ replaced the fancy "é"-s and "ü"-s to a "?".
Now I looked this up, and I saw, that the language files (and basically every .xml file) works with an UTF-8 encoding and if I use a language.xml, all the special characters work fine. That's the VDJ interface though, not in my plugin. Also this plugin can write to a file and can send data over a network. In the file any special character is jingled, though if I parse the strings with java (on the other side of a network) it works fine. I tried to use setLocale() and other magic but to avail. I use MS Visual Studio for coding (in C++)
If anyone has an idea where am I wrong please help.

We use mainly English when we develop plugin in order to share them.
So something to check indeed at plugins level as it's not the same approach as xml files (in UTF-8).

If you use utf8 to declare your button name that should work too.

Hey Guys!
Thank you very much for your help! I changed the encoding of the source files externally to UTF-8 and it seems that solved my problem...at long last!
