Problem when displaying Spanish "ñ" character #406

Closed alexvazquez closed 3 years ago

alexvazquez commented 3 years ago

I have my "message.po" having the following:

#: Views\Account\NewLogin.cshtml:57
msgid "Password"
msgstr "Contraseña"

When I change the language to Spanish, what I get is this: Contrase�a

Seems some encoding is not working correctly while getting the translation values from the message.po.

Any clue? Appreciate it

By some reason the message.po generated by the i18n.PostBuild.exe doesn't convert the file to UTF-8. Dont know if there is a way to generate it by default. I converted to UTF-8 using the following Powershell command and now the encoding issues are gone.

Get-Content .\messages.po | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 messages-utf8.po

Is it possible the file encoding got modified at some point? I'm pretty sure we do create the PO files as UTF-8, and if we didn't it would have been flagged before.

Also make sure your messages.pot file is UTF-8. The assumption is that all files, including all source code files, are UTF-8.

I dont think it was got modified at some point. Well maybe when I edited in Visual Studio but I dont think VS will change the encoding. Anyway this was a fix in case someone else have the same problem. Appreciate will do that.
