Christian, You can create a properties file with display text in required language itself like
Newkey.label1 = Gracias ... ... Save it to <somefile.txt> and then call native2ascii program in <JAVA_HOME>/bin folder to convert the contents to appropriate Unicode characters and save the file with appropriate properties file naming convention. In the example, it will be <somefile_es.properties>. You can also automate this file generation build script too. Hope this helps. ~Muthu -----Original Message----- From: Charlesmel Carino [mailto:charlesmel1...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 7:46 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Cc: Rommel Garcia Subject: Re: [s2] Using UTF-8 in .properties files Hi Christian, There are two sides of the story here. One is to type those UTF-8 characters onto your properties file (probably several combination of key strokes) and make sure that file editor you are using is configured for encoding UTF-8. The other is ensuring your code to read UTF-8 encoded files. If that is not happening then your characters get funky.

(I need the .properties files for i18n, so loggically I will need characters other than the contained in ASCII or latin1).
