Translations in the js runtime

Dear innovaphone forum,

When I try to add translations some characters dont display in the right way.

For example: äöü -> ��

Translating in the c++ app always worked, but in the js runtime the encoding doesnt seem to work probably.

Is there a recommend solution how to fix this issue?

Code:

newapp1.js:

that.add(new innovaphone.ui1.Div().addTranslation(texts, "test"));

newapp1.texts.js:

en: {
        test:"aou",
    },
    de: {
        test:"äöü",
    }

Hi Nick,

did you take care that your js files are saved with UTF-8 encoding? Some editors (and visual studio) may encode the files with a different encoding by default.

In addition, the htm files you're using must provide the tag <meta charset="utf-8"/>

The template application already contains a suitable htm file.

Greetings,

Daniel

Re: Translations in the js runtime

You were right. It was because Visual Studio does not save it as UTF-8.

This is how you solve it:
Go to newapp1texts.js
Click Save As
Click on the arrow next to save button and select "Unicode (UTF-8 Signature)"
Overwrite current newapp1texts.js

You are here
