I have UniPad. The file is saved as UTF-8 Unicode. The plugin fails to load (so no errors, no idea). I use GeLoadString() for all resource strings. Would this affect folder/file names stored in c4d_string.str and used for Filename classes, even if in English?Thanks,

Oh, I see. Don't tell anybody that it has to be ASCII+UCN with Byte Order Mark turned off, but keep insisting on UTF-8.
Get it right, guys!!!

That seems to be an error in the documentation, if by "insist" you mean the one reference on the Dialog layout page: "The string files are stored in Unicode UTF-8...". I'll change this for the R9 docs. Thanks for reporting!

It also shows up (at least in 8.0 docs) in String class, GetCStringLen() and SetCString(), and under StringEncoding. This is misleading since it isn't strict UTF-8, but ASCII+UCN, which is with what the non-English Resource strings are encoded.
What is interesting is that the English strings appear to be UTF-8 encoded, but luckily for me (when the trouble arose), I had the full language pack installed on one of my C4D installs. With them, I was able to see the different encoding for them in UniPad.
The ASCII+UCN encoding seems to work cross-platform (though this could be an artifact of MacOS 10.3.7 and C4D R9 and widening of compliances between the platforms).
Thanks Mikael,
