This looks like the same problem discussed in the "native2ascii" thread. I will copy in my input below, you can search on the mailing list site for the complete list of messages for this thread:
********** Re: native2ascii Paul Moody Fri, 24 Jun 2005 02:43:30 -0700 Below is my understanding of the solution. It is a bit annoying that property files can not be UTF-8 encoded but that seems to be the case. Anyway, here is what I have done and it seems to work... - you should store your Turkish strings in a text file with UTF-8 format (you can open the file in notepad and when saving choose the UTF-8 format). - you run the native2ascii to convert the UTF-8 strings into the required format with the strange looking things like \ufffd (or whatever). Don't worry, this is what is needed for the property files used by struts. - your JSPs should have a directive telling your browser that they are in UTF-8 format. Near the top of every JSP we have "<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" language="java" %>" Hopefully this should work. Good luck. ********** --- Antony Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > I want to keep the properties file in arabic. I > do this by saving > the file with encoding of UTF-8 in Notepad.
