Hello all.
Anyone out there knows how to make TagEditor accept the irregular Maltese characters ċ ġ ħ ż and their CAPS? Cannot work on a project whose deadline is Monday ;-(
In Workbench these characters show OK (e.g. when I press the shortcut keys ALT + c to get a ċ).
But this technique simply won't work in TagEditor. When I press ALT + c nothing happens, nothing is entered. I am using the latest version: TagEditor 6.5.5.

| Which file format? | Nov 6, 2004 |
Hi Pristine,
Which file format are you working on?
This sounds like a codepage or font issue, as these characters require Unicode. It's important to know which format you're working on.
TIA, Ralf

| You need a proper keyboard layout configuration | Nov 6, 2004 |
Hi, Pristine,
You don't mention what Windos version you have or which method you are using to type Maltese characters in Word but from you comments I suspect that you are not using a Maltese keyboard layout but custom shortcuts in Word.
A similar problem was discussed once in the Trados User group in Yahoo. The problem was in MultiTerm iX but the same solution can be applied in TagEditor.

Basically, you need to use a Maltese keyboard layout. Even if a Maltese keyboard layout is not supported with MultiTerm iX, it should work well with TagEditor. It will also work in other Unicode-compatible applications like Excel, PowerPoint... etc.

The Maltese keyboard works fine in Word and Workbench, but not in TagEditor. Why?
Any other ideas?
Thanks.
