Hanaan,
You may consider this approach:
-- make a sample file
-- cell A1 is in English, cell A2 is in Japanese
-- other assumptions: using English as system language, the font
"Osaka" is installed
set jText to B+data utxt30C930E9304830823093B;
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
Create New Workbook
tell Sheet 1 of document 1
set Name of Font of Range "R1C1:R2C1" to "Osaka"
set Value of Cell "R1C1" to "Doraemon"
set Value of Cell "R2C1" to jText
end tell
end tell
Then, you may compare the first character, if it's a-z or A-Z, if yes,
the cell is in English, if not, in your situation, it's in Japanese.
set alpha to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" as
Unicode text
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
tell Sheet 1 of document 1
set x to Value of Range "R1C1:R2C1"
end tell
end tell
repeat with i in x
if character 1 of item 1 of (contents of i) is in alpha then
say "english"
else
say "not English"
end if
end repeat
Well, if you need to know exactly the code point of each character, you
need to do it in another way.
