PGN files in another language

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.chess.computer (More info?)

I have inherited a PGN file with the piece names in French (R,D,T,F,C,P
rather than K,Q,R,B,N,P). Can CB9 take care of a conversion? Or do I
have to manually edit the file (and make the piece names "English")?

At least pgn-extract can do the conversion. Command line tool for both
Windows and unix/linux. Google will find it.

Try it and see!

Have a look through

http://pgn.freeservers.com/

to see if there's already a tool that will do this. If you can't find
anything, feel free to mail me the file and I'll write a script to convert
it for you.
