Description

Hi all,

I'm French ! Apologize for my poor English.

Until now, I have teached Software Engineering and Software Programming with Java, Php and SmartEiffel examples. I'm wondering to play Eiffel with many more library classes and a true IDE. I planned to use EiffelStudio under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8. But until now, I was never able to use it in French for comments and, of the first importance, for messages sent by the application. Hence I get, for instance, :

print("Je suis Franais%N")

when I want to write :

print("Je suis Français%N")

and so on with é, è, à, ... (all characters with accent).

When I type accented characters in the editor, it never display it. For instance, if I'm preparing a source code with such a comment :

-- Le réservoir est-il vide ?

the editor stay blocked on the input of the accented character until I type 'reservoir'. I can never input such a character.

My question is : "Can I configure EiffelStudio so that it accepts such characters ?". Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard configured for UTF-8 and environment variable LANG initialized to fr_FR.UTF-8.

Can someone tell me how to configure EiffelStudio and all the tools so that I can teach programming in French ?

Thanks in advance.
