Create a function:
Code: Select all
function text()
game.print("привет")
end
call the function from the console:

If the function contains English text, it is displayed:
Code: Select all
function text()
game.print("hello")
end

Works fine for me for both of these:
Code: Select all
function text()
game.print("привет")
end
commands.add_command('russian','test',text)
Are you sure your text file is encoded in utf8?

The function was created in a file control.lua
If I create a function through the console, or write /c game.print("привет") then Russian is displayed:

But why the text does not appear if the function is written in control.lua?
And how to use this line?
commands.add_command('russian','test',text)

No clue. Post the whole control.lua?

Simply type "/russian" into the console. It's just a quick way to call a random function.

Thanks for the report. The version of Lua we use doesn't official support UTF8 text so when it parses the file contents from disk it doesn't translate the string correctly.
When you do the same through console it's using a different method of parsing which sometimes works.
We may update the version of Lua we use in 0.17 to one that supports UTF8 but for now you just can't use direct non-ascii characters in Lua files.

Um. But this worked just fine in control.lua
Code: Select all
function text()
game.print("привет")
end
commands.add_command('russian','test',text)
after changing the encoding to utf8-bom. And i've used some japanese charcters for debug printing since...0.15?.

As eradicator implied ... if you use strings with non-ascii characters script files, the files need to be encoded in UTF8. I think BOM doesn't matter. Lua itself doesn't handle UTF8 strings, but as long as you are just passing strings around, it doesn't matter.
