InstallShield 2011 error 7185 importing Japanese strings in the string table of basic MSI project

I am trying to import Japanese strings inside my "Basic MSI" project, it use to work before without any issues but now when I try to import some Japanese strings from a text file then it throws following error (I have changed some of the personal data from the error message.)

ISDEV : error -7185: The Japanese: 日本語 translation for string identifier IDS_XXXX_1111 includes characters that are not available on code page 932.

I think there are some of the chara开发者_开发技巧cters inside the IDS_XXXX_1111 are not part of code page 932. How to detect those characters using some tool?

Also documentation mentions about changing some encoding settings to UTF-8 in InstallShield 2011, if you are aware then please guide me.

Thanks in advance

My favorite way to detect such characters is with python. For example, reading a file like the InstallShield string tables in python 2.x:

import codecs
strings = codecs.open("strings.txt", "r", "UTF-16"):
for line in strings.readlines():
    line = line.strip()
    try:
        line.encode("cp932")
    except UnicodeError:
        print "Can't encode: " + line.encode("cp932", "replace")

Your alternatives are to pinpoint the characters that cannot be represented on the relevant code page and replace them with ones that can, or to go to the Releases view and select yes for the Build UTF-8 Database setting.
