So, to get this straight in my non multilingual brain, if you set client encoding to latin1 then european charsets (i.e. latin based) work perfectly in pgAdmin? So probably we need to _at least_ do something similar for Japanese/Hebrew etc... /D

Recode can translate UTF-8 to any Windows encoding. i.e, it should be possible to translate UTF-8 (server) to Hebrew (Windows encoding, client), provided that Western VB is able to display Windows Hebrew fonts (which should be the case, no?). Otherwise we will have to ask users of VB localized versions to recompile pgAdmin2. This should work anyway, in one case or another. So users should be able to : - choose client encoding, - choose font for display. Cheers, Jean-Michel

Have a look at : http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?multibyte.html#AEN13682 A guy already did what we are looking for : UTF-8 <-> WIN1250 ( Czeck I guess). It should be possible to ask PostgreSQL to recode UTF-8 into : - Japanse Windows, - Chinses Windows, - Hebrew Windows...
