Hi Pau Perez,
I have discussed the RFE with our CD windows tech experts again and here are our possible suggestions,. After discussing with development, we believe, implementing this change does not align with broader roadmap.
Migrating codepage translation in CDW to another API would need a significant amount of investigation and testing, especially to ensure backwards compatibility. It’s not a drop-in replacement and should only be considered for a new version.
For that reason I am putting this as "Not under consideration" and we can revisit this once we see interest from more customers (via Voting or Comments)
I understand that this is not the answer you were expecting however if you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation. Appreciate your patience.
Thanks,
James
CDW currently uses MLang which can convert data from a source code page to a destination code page. The suggested MultiByteToWideChar/ WideCharToMultiByte are specific to converting data to and from UTF-16.This can be achieved with the current MLang implementation. Unless its UTF-16 as the transitional codepage, CDW would always need to convert data twice,
Convert from source codepage to UTF-16 using MultiByteToWideChar, then
Convert UTF-16 back to destination codepage using WideCharToMultiByte.
Since the requested capability is feasible with Mlang, we are keeping the idea as "Not under consideration" and we can revisit this once we see interest from more customers (via Voting or Comments)
