ID: Q126744

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 2.0
Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.5, 3.51

SUMMARY

Use the following steps to build a Japanese application on U.S. Windows NT version 3.5 using the English 32-bit Edition of Visual C++ version 2.0:

Copy c_932.nls from your Japanese Windows NT version 3.5 CD or disks.

Add c_932.nls to your English Windows NT version 3.5 system directory (for example, WINNT35\SYSTEM32.

Using REGEDT32.EXE, search for "codepage" in the following registry subkey:
```
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet 
```
Add this value:
932 : REG_SZ : c_932.nls

Add the "/C932" switch to the RC compiler option in the Project setting in the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE (Intergrated Development Environment).

Take similar steps if you want to use U.S. Windows NT version 3.5 as the development environment and build an application that requires a codepage that is not present on U.S. Windows NT version 3.5.
