Hi Roottalk,

We tried to use ROOT classes like TGTextEntry and similar
for an X 
application with Russian language in that. We failed however
to be able 
to enter the russian language. Examing in deep it looks like
that there 
is always a check on 7 bit ascii symbols entering by a user 
which 
certainly excludes the possibility to enter other languages
with 8 bits. 
I wonder if there is a way to rule out this problem or
perhaps ROOT 
could allow to enter the Russian encoding in some near
future? Many 
thanks in advance, Dmitry

Hello Dmitri,
 
 You can do that right now if you use ROOT with Qt layer and
Qt GUI:
 
 I think the topics
 
http:
//root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4084 
 
http:
//root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1512
 
do reply your message.
 
We (QtRoot project http://root.bnl.gov )  are
going to upgrade the Qt layer for ROOT by July, 2007.  (see
ROOT Workshop 2007, http://ro
ot.cern.ch/root/R2007/Welcome.html, 
"QtRoot project status and examples of its use at
STAR" 
http://indic
o.cern.ch/materialDisplay.py?contribId=24&materialId
=slides&confId=13356 
This version should extend the Qt
"internationalization" facility ( see http://doc.tro
lltech.com/4.3/i18n.html  ) to the ROOT GUI components
also. There is the "natural" constrain though. To
achieve the full-fledged Qt-like
"internationalization" the internal ROOT format
for the strings has to be 16-bits UNICODE (see: http://en.wikipe
dia.org/wiki/Unicode ). The current ROOT internal format
for the string is 8-bit.
 
I did not hear about any plan to lift that constrain and
provide the Qt internationalization facility equivalent with
no Qt layer yet.
 
With my best regards, 
                         Valeri Fine

Thank you Valeri, I will examine the Qt layer for this
purpose. Best 
regards, Dmitry
