Re: Multilanguage

Zhangming,

There is really no way to do that. Assuming that you are storing
everything in unicode columns, you can try and scan every character, and see
if they all fall within some subset of unicode which corresponds to a
particular language, but at best, that is a heuristic. You really need to
store the language along with the information.

My database contains multiple languages such as Englisg, French, Chinese,
Japanese...(16 languages). Can any one tell me how I can detect which kind
of language is saved in a column without any additional flag by program?
