Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have been grappling with escaped foreign characters in properties files recently. Android resource files allow normal foreign characters to be used but standard java properties require awkward escape codes e.g. /u0107 resulting in unreadable files containing strings like:</div>
<div> Pentateuch = Pi\u0119cioksi\u0105g</div><div>In case somebody else makes the same mistake there is a utility called native2ascii that converts foreign characters to escape codes.</div><div><br></div><div>However, there is a new feature in Java 6 that allows foreign characters to be entered directly into properties files. See this article for info: <a href="http://jdevelopment.nl/java/internationalization-jsf-utf8-encoded-properties-files/">http://jdevelopment.nl/java/internationalization-jsf-utf8-encoded-properties-files/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I realise you are trying to simplify the translation of resource files so thought I would throw this in.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div>Martin</div>
