Category: XMLUI (Manakin) Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Christian Voelker (c_voelker) >Assigned to: Claudia Juergen (cjuergen) Summary: Imporper display of Umlauts / Encoding of messages_de.xml Initial Comment: The file http://code.google.com/p/dspace-sandbox/source/browse/modules/dspace-xmlui-lang/trunk/src/main/webapp/i18n/messages_de.xml starts with the line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> as opposed to all other message files starting with <?xml version="1.0"?> I have Dspace 1.4.2 with Manakin 1.1a installed as a test installation and loaded this file, knowing that it would not work flawlessly because it is meant for a newer version of Manakin. In my test instance Umlauts did not display properly. However, I found that I am not the only one with this issue and most installations of DSpace 1.5 that are already using Manakin as their interface show the very same behaviour. E.g. <http://minds.wisconsin.edu/> <http://dspace.cpm.unimib.it/xmlui/> I changed the first line to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, rebuilt using ant build_wars. Now, my display is fine: <http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/cvoelker_manakin/> I am confident that omitting the encoding completely would work as well, but I had not seen before that every other language file did it that way. I am willing to test it if it is worth anything to test it under Manakin 1.1a. I guess Claudia who wrote this file has a different setup for her Apache or JSP container so that the same thing works fine at her place with the encoding as set in the file. This is why I report my locale setting: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 I suggest that the first line of the messages_de.xml file in the repository should be changed to either ommit the encoding or setting it to UTF-8 so that messages get displayed properly on sites where the file is just used without people in charge being aware that their site looks weird if seen in a language which is not their mother tongue. Their could be an additional comment line giving a hint to german users on how to switch back in case their server setup requires them to do so.
