The problem is a different one, it is what our code returns ... the code
that peeks into the registry and tries to detect the language setting.

Yup.

I have committed bot variants, and a copy of the simplified one as
perltk-zh


BTW, Zhao, your UTF8 coded files were quite strange, they had some
hidden two bytes at the beginning, file declared the UTF8 with BUM
marker.

I had to remove them (the markers) (was not easy, vim didn't show them,
I had to use an hex editor) otherwise the code in our perl script
wouldn't work properly (we are reading in in bytes and convert then to
utf8 by hand).

Best wishes

BOOLTEENS
The small scatterings of foreign coins and half-p's which inhabit
dressing tables. Since they are never used and never thrown away
boolteens account for a significant drain on the world's money supply.
