Have you saved your file in UTF-8 mode? Look at source/index.html for
charset=utf-8. Most likely your application.js file is not in utf-8
encoding, but latin1 or something like that.

You could also set charset=latin1 in your index.html file, but this will get
you into trouble if you plan to work with Qooxdoo's internationalisation
mechanism which (at least by default) will also use utf-8 encoding in the
translation (.po) files.

If you later plan to add a RPC-backend to your Qooxdoo application and are
going to transfer data between a database engine and the Qooxdoo application
you might run into (automagic) charset conversion issues (at least I did
with a PostgreSQL database engine and the Perl RPC-backend. You'll have to
make sure that the Qooxdoo application receives the data in the encoding it
expects. The webserver might also do funny things depending on its
configuration.

BTW, I guess this is nothing Qooxdoo specific and can be rather difficult to
debug as many tools (e.g. editors) do automagic charset/encoding conversions
on the fly so that it can be difficult to even figure out what type of
encoding your file really has. In Unix/Linux the file command might be of
help.

Hope this helps. Cheers,
Fritz

I'm trying a form example available in one of your demo.
I've translated "First Name " with "Prénom"  in the application.js source
file and I get "Pr?nom" when I launch index.html with firefox or IE.

How can I workaround this problem ?

Thanks for your help.
