public function TDataSet.Translate(

Src: PChar;

Dest: PChar;

ToOem: Boolean

):Integer; virtual;

Arguments

`Src`		Source buffer
`Dest`		Destination buffer
`ToOem`		Should translation happen from native to OEM codepage or vice versa ?

Function result

Number of written bytes.

Description

Translate is called for all string fields for which the TStringField.Transliterate property is set to True. The toOEM parameter is set to True if the transliteration must happen from the used codepage to the codepage used for storage, and if it is set to False then the transliteration must happen from the native codepage to the storage codepage. This call must be overridden by descendents of TDataset to provide the necessary transliteration: TDataset just copies the contents of the Src buffer to the Dest buffer. The result must be the number of bytes copied to the destination buffer.
