It should work (we cope with Japanese etc.). As long as you can type in the greek symbols in some way then
the issues become more of internal storage and file i/o. Then the issue comes down to choosing between
MBCS & UNICODE internally. What that really affects is whether you would ever perceive needing to store
a japanese competitors name in the same file as a chinese or greek.
If this is the case (and it would seem possible/likely at World championship level) then you will need to use
unicode/utf-8 etc. internally and in the file.
I have a copy of sailwave on my laptop that i use for testing japanese support of our product. I'll give it a try
at some point over the next few days.

Hi John,
OK I see. I've always assumed (incorrectly by the looks of it) that Windows
handles that; i.e. you install the necessary font variations on your
computers to allow you to write in Greek. Can you write in Greek in
applications like Word and Notepad etc on the same computer? Are there some
fonts that work and some that don't...? Is anybody out there knowledgeable
about this sort of thing. I chose Tahoma as the UI font because from what I
could gather, there were more regional variations for Tahoma than anything
else...
Regards,
Colin

Subject: [sailwave] Re: multilingual supportHi Colin,
Thank you for your reply. In fact, we have no problem in user
interface, we can handle english with no problem at all. Our question
is whether we can use greek in writing greek names (competitors),
because it's much more better to see greek names, especially for
young athletes. Is there any way to see greek names in the program?Thanks again,
John Melidis
