I have a MM which was originally created with a US locale.
I have a tool which will convert xml ism files to different languages, changing the locale, guids etc. This works relaibly and has been used many times on various products using a multitude of MMs.
This particular MM has been translated to French, German and Spanish using the tool and works fine 🙂
However using this tool to transform the MM to traditional Chinese (zh-Hant 1028) give me a validation error every time I try to build it:
The MM name, file names and Guids are all correct - and a comparison with the French or German shows nothing out of the ordinary. The one thing being the fact that this is not a Western European code page - however the String table does not contain any chinese Characters (despite there being a chinese - though I did try building it with just chinese characters in there).
In fact the only place where 1033 is still mentioned in the ism file is in the ISLanguage table - however thre is also an entry for 1028. Also there is a 1033 string table as well as a 1028.
Perhaps I'm missing a setting that is needed for non-european code pages - does anyone know of any?
