 Hi all,

 I'm French ! Apologize for my poor English.

 Until now, I have teached Software Engineering and Software Programming
 with Java, Php and SmartEiffel examples. I'm wondering to play Eiffel with
 many more library classes and a true IDE. I planned to use EiffelStudio
 under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8. But until now, I was never able to use it
 in French for comments and, of the first importance, for messages sent by
 the application. Hence I get, for instance, :

     print("Je suis Franais%N")
 when I want to write :
     print("Je suis Français%N")

 and so on with é, è, à, ... (all characters with accent).

 When I type accented characters in the editor, it never display it. For
 instance, if I'm preparing a source code with such a comment :
    -- Le réservoir est-il vide ?
 the editor stay blocked on the input of the accented character until I
 type 'reservoir'. I can never input such a character.

 My question is : "Can I configure EiffelStudio so that it accepts such
 characters ?". Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard configured for UTF-8 and
 environment variable LANG initialized to fr_FR.UTF-8.

 Can someone tell me how to configure EiffelStudio and all the tools so
 that I can teach programming in French ?

 Thanks in advance.
