Native CJK support #6533

Problem description

The current version of Sublime Text (Build 4180) supports the Chinese (GB18030) encoding used in mainland China, but it does not support the traditional Chinese (Big-5) encoding used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, nor the Japanese and Korean encodings.

The ConvertToUTF8 package allows opening these files by converting them during loading and saving. However, this process alters code points and the loading conversion is visible. The package adds two menu items, including a "Reload with encoding" right above the native "Reopen with encoding", making it not very elegant. Additionally, it can be confusing because the encoding (when "show_encoding" is true) is displayed as "Western (Windows 1252)" when the file is freshly opened and "UTF-8" when buffered. Furthermore, installing ConvertToUTF8 can be complex for newbies, as it requires the Codecs33 package.

Preferred solution

Adding native support to the Chinese (Big-5), Japanese (Shift JIS), Japanese (Euc), Korean (Euc), and other encodings.

Alternatives

No other idea.
