a question on how to use the new I18-extension

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi list,
the new version 1.9 contains a great tool to manage, update local
translations of the program. I exported the german locale to zip and was
able to extract this file. However, I am wondering, how to continue. To
be more precise: which software is recommended to use for working with
these files? Normal texteditor? I opened the properties_de with gedit
(text editor for ubuntu), and the german umlauts (ü,ö,ä) were written in
a unknown format to me. Is this ok? Some hints would be g-r-e-a-t.

Best,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

When I tested this I used a normal texteditor (Kate) and it didn't cause
me any problem in spanish,
When you use the gedit application in other situations does it recognise
the german umlauts? I mean, the problem is just with the gvsig files?
Perhaps you could try with another text editor....
Sorry for not being of much help
best regards
roser

You should use an editor designed to edit Java .properties files,
which will also handle character encoding correctly.

There is a list here:

I have been using this:

But this one also looks good:
