Problems with i18n in Chinese

seto Dec 6, 2006 10:48 AM

I used the method written in the reference with properties.
I saved the properties in UTF8 encoding. Yet I can't display it correctly.
The words inputed in the html or from the database all display correctly.
Can someone help me?

The problem is the Chinese display incorrectly.

I have found the problem that I must type as \uXXXX in the properties. If I look up all the charaters must cost me a lot of time. Any better sollutions?

I want to just type it as usual. I think that it should be the problem of encoding. But methods I tried , none works.

Hi Seto,

We've also found on our project that we need to use the \uXXXX format in our properties files. If you find a solution, or if anybody has one, please post back!

thanks,
Daniel.

Use editor which supports automatic encoding. Like http://www.resourcebundleeditor.com/ for Eclipse, and i'll bet others exists for different IDEs.
