    Hi, I am trying out the following code .

    setlocale(LC_ALL ,"");
    std::string ab = "名前を入力してください: " ;

    cout.imbue(std::locale("Japanese_Japan.932"));
    cout<<ab<<endl; // No message seen on console
    printf("%s" ,ab.c_str());// this statement is printing the message

    Both system and user locale are set to japanese. Cout statement doesnt print the message in screen. I am able to print message using printf . how can i use cout to print japanese meesages ? Thanks in advance

        No. His encoding is Shift_JIS (CP 932) and that's multibyte, not wide char.

          Are you sure the locale was successfully set? Try

          cout << cout.rdbuf()->getloc().name();

          after the imbue and see what it prints out.

            As you said i tried printing the stream locale is shows "Japanese_Japan.932". One thing observed is that if setlocale(LC_ALL ,"") call is commented then the message is printed correctly. Any idea why ?

                What is the User default ANSI code page of your operating system? If that is the same as the code page of what you're trying to print, I don't see why it should fail. From the docs ^: setlocale( LC_ALL, "" ); Sets the locale to the default, which is the user-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system.

                      If you are using std::wstring's, you need std::wcout. std::cout works *only* with std::strings. Since there is no _tcout, I like to use _tprintf (and _T macro) when printing Unicode stuff in console. Take this code for example: std::wstring test1 = _T("test1"); std::cout << test1.c_str() << endl; // prints junk "0012DE10" std::wcout << test1.c_str() << endl; // prints "test1" But to do it "properly", something like this is needed: std::basic_string<TCHAR> test1 = _T("test1"); _tprintf(_T("Testing string is: %s"), test1.c_str()); I hope that helps. Best regards, loreia

                                use wprintf() instead of printf(). likely use wide char version of cout(wcout) instead of cout
