UTF-8 to iso #92

Closed aliceingame closed 11 years ago

aliceingame commented 11 years ago

Hi, I am in charge of the translation for an other minecraft mod (TFCraft) and I would like to know how you convert utf8 characters to iso. Is there any kind of online tool I can use?

I could also be an idea to let people know on your instruction page.

I always do it myself, after spending a little time, you know the codes. Also: A little off-topic, isn't it?

I guess I could do it manually, but with language like Japanese and Chinese, I doubt you would know the codes that easily. Even for easy thing like accents in french I don't even know where to get the codes.

It might be a bit off topic, but let's say I want to help the translation of buildcraft but I don't know how to change UTF-8 to iso. What are my options

  1. submit a utf-8 file that migh (or should) not be accepted as stated in the rules.
  2. take (lose) time to look for a way to convert it.
  3. use a tool that this github project point to.

It might be off topic, but an answer to this question could push people to chose option 3 when they are willing to translate buildcraft. I was just honest and I said I am working on the translation of a different mod for minecraft.

http://code.cside.com/3rdpage/us/javaUnicode/converter.html Google is your friend. Note that you have to insert UTF-8 text in the top text box, then hit "Characters to Hexadecimal Codes" and you see the complete text, re-encoded on the bottom.

You are my hero! The closest I found was http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/ using JavaScript escapes, but any change of line is changed for "\n", and that is not so useful.
