Hi Jordi

I can't seem to reproduce this behavior on my computer, so I'll have to take a guess and assume that you're seeing compile errors because the file is encoded in ansi and not unicode.  In that case, one workaround might be to open your .cpp or .h file in notepad, and save it using unicode encoding (there is an oft-overlooked dropdown for encoding on the "save as" dialog in notepad), then re-open it in VS and then try to add the Japanese strings

If you can give a detailed explaination of the problem, I might be able to help you more.  What exactly is the error that you see?  Is it a build error or an error when you try to edit the file

Thanks
