| Ketil 15/10/2002 6:26pm | Hi!
I'm working on a norwegian translation for Scribe. I notice that some western european characters (æ, ø, å, Æ, Ø, Å) is displayed as questionmarks (?) on the program menu/dialogs. (Or they don't show up at all...) Is there a solution to this? -- Ketil |
| Bardo 15/10/2002 6:33pm | Ketil, I can agree with that. I noticed that a ë in the Dutch translation transformed to a å< or something like that.
Matthew, can you give us a clue? Bardo |

There is a test build up on the site at the moment. If you want to migrate your existing translation to the new file format I can do that for you, because it'd be a lot of work by hand. LgiRes has a "import language" function for adding a tranlation from another file. Also you might want to mention which charset your editing your translation in, so that I can trans-code it into utf-8 correctly. |
| Ketil 16/10/2002 5:29am | Ahh..
Converting the lr8 file to UTF-8 made the difference! Thanks alot. (Don't know how I could miss that point..) Btw: The labels and checkboxes should be made as wide as possible; the non-english words/sentences tends to be a little longer than the english ones. :) |
| fReT 16/10/2002 8:13pm | When I receive a translation I generally check through the major dialogs and make sure it's visible. So don't worry too much at this point, I can adjust things size wise later. |
