Some languages have several possible encodings. Although the translated strings should be the same, but it is important that you choose the same encoding that you use inside your source code (inside your documentation comments). That is because PasDoc doesn’t convert the encoding of your comments, we simply put your comments inside HTML (or other outputs), of course after processing of the @-tags. So it’s your responsibility to use in your source code the same encoding that you indicate by the --language option.

Note that the encodings listed above apply to the PasDoc version compiled without STRING_UNICODE. This means that PasDoc was compiled with FPC or with non-Unicode Delphi. In particular, the officially released PasDoc versions are compiled with FPC, so the encodings listed above are correct.

If you compile PasDoc yourself, with newer (Unicode) Delphi, then an alternative version will be used, where all languages are encoded in UTF-8.
