    Hi,

    I have a Windows (MFC) application that passes a mixed character (English and Japanese) string like "Templete_DRAFT-4_final_コメント– Notepad"to a website using Request(CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_POST, remoteFileCopy, NULL, 1, NULL, _T("HTTP/1.1"), INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE | ((dwServiceType == AFX_INET_SERVICE_HTTPS) ? INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE : 0))).

    Earlier the Japanese characters were displayed as ?(questions marks) but then I used windows API " WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8,0,m_sDocName, -1, buf, sizeof(buf),NULL,NULL); " to encode it to UTF-8. And It works well with English OS but on Japanese OS the encoding is not accurate. The text is coming @ web site as "Templete_DRAFT-4_final_

    コメンチE20- メモ帳"

    would someone advise me to get a solution at the earliest.

    Thanks

    which is not the same. I tried all possible flags with API --- WideCharToMultiByte, but no hope yet.

    Hi Rajesh -- I think this is probably the wrong place to post the question -- here we deal with the translator API, which is used for machine translation between languages.

    I'd suggest looking at the C++/MFC forums: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcmfcatl/threads

    Laurence,

    Thanks a lot for the heads up. I posted @ the C++/MFC area.

    Have a good day.

    Thanks

    Rajesh,

    Did you find an answer for your question?

    Since its a pretty old post so i am not sure if you remember this or not but i am facing similar kind-of problem with Chinese + English characters on Chinese OS.

    Your suggestion can be really helpful.
