Just because you read it in my book, does not mean it is 100%
correct. I am an English speaker in an English speaking area, so my
experience with this is limited. Jean-François is correct, it is
trying to guess and guessing wrong. His UTF-16 method is one
solution. Another is to use NSBundle or WOResourceManager to re-
implement this broken functionality. Something like this:
String html = new String(NSBundle.mainBundle().bytesForResourcePath(
((Session) session()).siteLanguage() +
".lproj/" + nameWithoutPath() + ".wo/" +
nameWithoutPath() + ".html"),
"UTF-8");
The problem with UTF-16 (in my very, very limited experience) is that
may editors don't display it correctly.

For all 8bits encoding, it cannot guess it and revert to ISO-Latin1.
The only way for WOResourceManager to guess it properly is to use
UTF-16.

Hi!
I'm reading a string from a .strings file that contains
accentuated characters. The code is the following:
public static String portugueseLanguageName() {
return Application.application().resourceManager
().stringForKey(Session.PORTUGUESE_LANGUAGE_KEY,
Application.RESOURCES_DEFAULT_TABLE_NAME,
"PT",
null,
new NSArray(new Object[] {"Portuguese"}));
}
The file is in XML format and was created with Property List
Editor. Any attempt to create the file using a normal text editor
results in parsing error at the first character. Even opening and
saving the file without modifications in TextWrangler originates
an error (anyone knows why?).
Well, but my problem is far more serious. I'm using that string
to fill one of the items of a pop up menu on a page. I have
followed all the UTF-8 related precautions, overloadings, etc,
explained on Chuck's book. Still, instead of Português, I get some
strange characters (like russian or greek) instead of the
accentuated ê.
I try to write some accentuated text on a component, and save it
has UTF-8. WebObjects builder 5.3.1 appears to always save those
characters using escape characters, like é instead of é.
Nevertheless, I edited the .woo file to set the right encoding,
and editied the .html file in TextWrangler, restoring the real
accentuated characters. It works! That appear on the browser as
they should. The only problem is the pop-up menu made with strings
that come from a .strings file, so my guess is that the problem is
related to the file reading/decoding.
I find this strange, as the .strings method is mentioned on
chuck's book, so I guess it should work... what the heck is going
on here?
Yours
