I'm just trying to confirm whether the problem is with FrontlineSMS or your computer. If it's with your computer I'm not sure what we can suggest, but I'll let the developers have a think about that.

Thanks.

So, how about this for a temporary fix. If you type the message you want to send in an external application, and then cut and paste it into FrontlineSMS, it sounds like that will work. It's not perfect but it gets you up and running, correct?

Something seems to be missing from your computer to allow messages to be typed in Hindi in the application - FrontlineSMS seems to be doing the message support without any problem.

Thanks.

FrontlineSMS is not accepting the input in other languages but when you type in a text editor in Hindi and then copy paste it into Send Console.
It works fine, i mean i get a SMS in Hindi.
In case of Bengali,on pasting i get squares in send console
but on the recieving cellphone its Bengali only.
;)

Thanks all,
sakthivel
