Char encoding trouble ? ... Maybe not

Hi,

Just asked an employee to make a french translation.
when I put this file in mango and make it usable, I've got trouble with french chars : é à ...
If the letter is in a DataPoint , no problem.
It it is in the translation file I get an ? ...

I think it as something to deal with Tomcat conf but not sure.

Using tomcat6 / java 1.6 OpenJDK / fedora 11
locales are fr_FR.UTF-8

The message_*.properies files are NOT ASCII encoded (that would be the SUN-standard) there are UTF-8 encoded!.
So If you work with a translation tool you have to recode them see reverse option of the command native2ascii.

hello Patriator,

another user from france is willing to help with the translation.

(we use the same translation files from mango)

would you be interested in joining efforts? this could be put into mango´s main release.

best regards
