Thanks for the patch. Is this file encoded as "8859_1" like the current one?

I'm quiet confused.

I did the following steps:
1. I made sure that the ApplicationResources_de are encoded correctly.
2. I created a patch.
3. I opened the patch and saw that the "umlaute" are not displayed correctly any more. By default the encoding was set to Cp1252.
4. I changed the encoding of the patch explicitly to 8859_1. The umlaute were still not displayed correctly.

For creating the patch I used Tortoise.
I use Windows XP and Eclipse.

Do you have any Idea? I attached the ApplicationResources_de.

Maybe it's best to use something like EditPad++ to create a file that's properly encoded. Then, attach it to this bug and see if it retains its metadata. If it doesn't, e-mail it to me directly - tell me what to look for - and I can commit it if it comes across the wire correctly.

I've downloaded and veryfied the patch with "UltraEdit". After opening the patch the encoding was default to "1252 Latin". Then I switched explicitly to "ISO 8859-1 Latin" the umlaute where still displayed correctly.
So I think the patch should be ok.

Can you verify this is fixed in M5?

Thanks,

Matt

I've verified it. Unfortunately there is another problem:

The "Umlaute" are not correctly displayed by default. The browser (Firefox and IE as well) displays the appfuse pages as UTF-8 encoded. But the ApplicationProperties are encoded as ISO 8859-1. After switching the browser to ISO 8859-1 the "Umlaute" are displayed correctly. But after a new request the browser switches back to UTF-8.

I think we should either provide the ApplicationProperties in UTF-8 or change the charset encoding in the html header to ISO-8859-1.
