TableTools support Japanese or Chinese?

Does TableTools support Japanese or Chinese? After i saved as CSV or Excel, the file can not be read - the Japanese or Chinese character doesn't show well. How can i handle it?
By the way, thanks to the GOOOD work!!!

Hi shen,

This is a known issue with TableTools, and one I'm actively looking into at the moment. The problem is that Excel isn't importing the file as a UTF8 file - so I need to try and figure out how to make it do that... Keep an eye out on the RSS feed for a new release of TableTools.

Regards,
Allan

Hi shen and all others interested in UTF-8 support,

I've managed to put together a proof of concept that works quite well with UTF-8 support, but implementing it in production ready code (or anything more than proof of concept) it proving to be very difficult in Flash. I've logged two bugs with Adobe about their UTF support in Flash player, and hope they are able to respond to them quickly. In the mean time, I think I'm going to have to find a way around the issue, and not use the built in Flash character conversion functions.

Regards,
Allan

Not sure if this is a related issue, but when the browser language is set to Japanese, the DataTables plugin does not render the table at all. By that I mean, the table and table data is displayed as normal, but there is no pagination, no search, and no column sort.

However, the exact same code works fine if the browser language is set to English.

Do you get any Javascript errors when the browser language is set to Japanese?

Sorry, my bad... I didn't include the javascript in the head for the JA templates. It's working now. :S
