[Jxplorer-users] Windows: Wrong charset used for loading translations

[Chris Betts]

Hi Folks,

for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble accessing the sourceforge
bug tracking system.

If anyone has more info on the charset problem, can you mail me
directly?

The language files are *supposed* to be standard UTF-8 files, of a sort
than can be edited by any standard UTF-8 editor - I'm not clear from the
messages below whether
a) JX isn't loading the UTF-8 files correctly on Win 7, or
b) There's something wrong with the file encoding.

... any hints gratefully accepted!

cheers,

- Chris

Summary: Windows: Wrong charset used for loading translations

Initial Comment:
I installed JXplorer using the current stable installer for Windows
(jxplorer-3.2.2-windows-installer.exe) on a German Win7 system.

It seems to me like JXplorer loads the translations using the default
charset (which is on Windows "Cp1252" and not UTF-8) which results in bogus
characters displayed in the GUI everywhere an umlaut would be used (see
attached screen-shot).

Message:
I made a quick check where the problem is located. I found out that
JXplorer uses some really strange encoding which is used for the German and
French translation file.

Both are currently encoded the way Java defines Unicode characters but
processed by custom code - which seems to fail on current Java versions.

The simplest way is just to remove this strange encoding and use UTF-8
instead. I have done that for the German translation file (see attached).
If someone could take this over for the French file as well that everything
would be fine again.
