Shawn Jiang commented on GERONIMO-4763:
---------------------------------------
{noformat}
- everything is in ascii unicode escape sequences all the time (is this what we
have now?)
{noformat}
yes
{noformat}
- everything is in utf-8 all the time (svn, checked out source code, any
compiled property files
{noformat}
- utf-8 in svn and checkout and unicode escape after compilation
The problem is with resource bundles. For resouce bundle, Properties files are
always read as ISO-8859-1. As a result, To include Unicode characters in i18n
properties file, we must use \uXXXX escapes(with native2ascii tool).
> i18n properties files should be converted to ascii at build time.

> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: usability
> Affects Versions: 2.1.5, 2.2
> Reporter: Shawn Jiang
> Assignee: Shawn Jiang
> Priority: Minor
>
> Current i18n properties files are stored in source code repo after they are
> converted to ascii from native offline. It's very hard to contribute new
> translations.
> We should keep native characters in source code while convert them to ascii
> at build time. maven plugin native2ascii-maven-plugin could be used here:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
> <artifactId>native2ascii-maven-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
> <configuration>
