so do I so I added it as a button...
NEW VERSION...
I split the input method to make it function the same in all versions of SU...
I can't get the raw code too display in the dialog, so here it is for v2014, the others are similarly wrong...
EDIT: made a small adjustment to get 'fixed' to display correctly [puts v p]

true
return using add_action_callback [id,value] 
"\xE2\x88\x9A\xC2\xA9lan \xC3\x82\xC3\xA3\xC2\xA2\xE2\x80\x9E\xC3\x85\xC3\x91 Schwung \xE2\x80\x93\xE2\x88\x8F\xE2\x80\x93\xC2\xBA\xE2\x80\x93\xC3\xB8\xE2\x80\x94\xC3\x89\xE2\x80\x93\xC2\xAA\xE2\x80\x94\xC3\xA5\xE2\x80\x94\xC3\x85"
return using get_element_value => élan 勢い Schwung импульс

Here are my PC results.
Win7 IE11.
Note how v2014 misses platform ?
Only the v8 Russian text seems to have a problem on get_element_value ??

Here you go.
I've got SU 7 Free, SU 8 Free, SU 2013 Trial, SU 2014 Trial

Garry K

Sorry - missed clicking the button for SU 7

Thanks Tig and Garry,

from your images it appears that v8 had an issue with the standard call but shows correctly if SU is handed a Unicode charset string with it's separators gsub'd.

The ongoing v2014 (PC) handles both standard or 'fixed', where my mac's fail.

I'll write up a bug report for this, and at least I can now carry on with my language translator...

The only conditions, in this script, are for the 'extra' system info, which I won't need...

@garry, if you click into the text field, then hit return and then click the button, you'll see the default results as well...

I had to split them onto Two buttons for v8 to use the same code as the others...

Here are my results on SU14, Windows 7 64-bits, IE11

1) When starting Sketchup

Thanks Fredo,

I updated the script since then to shows both the default and fixed returns...

the default shows with the return from the input box and the button shows the 'fix' i.e. Unicode literals with separators fixed...

on the PC it appears v8 may have an issue with the 'default' return for 'get_element_value' some of these chars, and mac has issues on all versions, but the Unicode literals appear to work on all, so far...

Thanks for taking the time.

here is a rbz version...
