I had the same problem until I figured out that when you create a properties file Flex Builder does not give it a UTF-8 encoding.
Create a new properties file, right mouse click on it and select "Properties" select "other" encoding and select UTF-8 from the dropdown menu, save the settings, copy the contents of the old properties file into the new one, and replace the old one with the new one. If you have special characters in the old file and just try to change its encoding, the system will not let you. I am building an app that needs to support Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Portuguese, French, and Spanish, as well as two flavors (flavours) of English, so I am acutely aware of this issue. > > On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 11:17 AM, paulbohnenkamp < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I have the following key-val combo in locale/es_US/app.properties file: > > > > Meeting.Info=Informacion para Reunión > > > > In my app when I switch language to Spanish at runtime it appears > > correctly, except the o in the last word with the acute accent over it > > displays as a square. > > > > Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? > > > > I added Spanish via Firefox > Tools > Options > Advanced > General > > > Languages thinking that might help, but it didn't. > > > > Thanks, > > Paul > > > > _ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > Andrew Wetmore > User Experience Director > Open Learning Exchange - www.ole.org > 978-319-7324 -- Andrew Wetmore User Experience Director Open Learning Exchange - www.ole.org 978-319-7324
