[Gambas-user] String processing in Wiki

[Eilert]

Today I've translated the functions starting with C into German.

There are some functions where there is a special hint that they only 
deal with ASCII, but Gambas deals with UTF-8.

Now there are two general questions of mine :-)

- Why do some of the functions use ASCII and some do not, and are there 
plans to make it uniform (all using UTF-8), or are there other important 
reasons for not to do so?

- If it has to be as it is, shouldn't we add a little hint into every 
string function to make clear if it is ASCII or UTF-8? Like a symbol or 
so...

And a special question:

- I was wondering why the hint "Be careful! The current localization is 
not used by this function." is mentioned for functions like CSng(). What 
do such functions have to do with localisation, and why does CShort() 
doesn't mention it then?

Thanks for your responses.
