1.1 General
Since the 1990s, Microsoft have put considerable effort into satisfying global
demands for information processing and software development.
In addition to supporting as many languages as possible, one of the aims was to
be able to support all languages with the same uniform operating system, as
opposed to the language-specific versions of operating systems which were used
before.
As part of these efforts, many of the system components and applications were
gradually converted to the cross-language platform Unicode.
Although in many cases the user would have been completely unaware of this
conversion process, in terms of the subjects discussed in this guide fundamentally
different procedures need to be adopted depending on which version of the
operating system is used.
The procedure recommended for Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP is much simpler than
the one recommended for Windows 95/ NT4. Therefore it makes sense to change
over to the new systems. The guide for older systems is only included for reasons
of compatibility and will no longer be maintained or kept up to date.
Using Windows 2000/ 2003 or Windows XP

1.2 Preconditions
This document describes the procedure for creating a text with the following
preconditions:
• The text is to be created on a Microsoft Windows operating system
(Windows 2000/ 2003 or Windows XP).
• The text is to be created in a language not identical to the language of the
operating system (= default language).
• The present description uses German as the default language for all examples
provided herein. However, the described procedure will work just as well with a
different language as the default Windows language.
• The text is to be created as a so-called text file, i.e. without formatting such as
font types, font sizes, underscores etc. This means that, apart from the text
characters, the file will only contain ASCII control characters like Tab, CR and
LF (tab indent, carriage return and line feed).
• The language of the text requires a different Windows code page to that of the
default language, i.e. the target language does not belong to the same
language family as the default language.
• The text file is to be coded using this code page, not as a Unicode file.
