cheat.dat support other language

I added a Chinese description in cheat.dat, but the display is garbled.
I tried utf-8 and gb2312 with the same result,How to support this.

I haven't personally reviewed this area of the code. But I would assume the cheat engine is using a list of known characters somewhere. You'd probably have to add the Chinese characters to it's internal structures to support.

So I believe the font is baked into the core with no real way to do this without adding an entirely new font. I don't see an easy way to do this. @grant2258 @arcadez2003 either of you see any viable solutions for this?

There is a RetroArch feature that sends screenshots to an AI translation service or software. That's only useful in some circumstances but might be a help to some people who don't read English trying to use cheats: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/ai-service/

It's a workaround a best.

Yeah, otherwise I think we'd have to include the new font in the core then run cheat.dat through a translator. Retroarch supports many languages but idk if we'd be able to piggyback on one libretro has or just include the raw font in the core.
