Feature request: translate input

[shadowlmd]

Would it be possible to implement translation of input to a codepage defined in Options.Font? Currently, it is only possible to input Latin characters, which is quite inconvenient for non-English BBS. Such feature would also solve #20.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Can you provide an example?

Simple example: https://bbs.bsrealm.net/ - try entering a Cyrillic name here.

Right now it won't work because fTelnet doesn't accept non-Latin input from keyboard at all. But even if it would accept it, it would most probably be UTF-8, and the BBS software expects CP866 encoding.

Sorry, I'm not sure that I'd be able to test this properly, let alone implement it, so it would take another programmer to tackle and submit a pull request I think.
