[s2] Using UTF-8 in .properties files
Hi,
How I can use UTF-8 in the .properties files? (I need the .properties
files for i18n, so loggically I will need characters other than the
contained in ASCII or latin1).
Thanks,
Cristian.

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.

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.

Posted by ki...@arcor.de.
It is definitely possible to develop non-English applications using resource bundles.
I typically put the Unicode codes (\uxxxx) in the .properties files when developing apps which must support e. g. cyrillic text. This is not as comfortable as it could be, but there are web based converters from non-ASCII text to unicode code sequences. And then: copy & paste.
If you have to deal with a lot of text, it might be worthwhile to look for ResourceBundle extensions capable of real Unicode text.

What about this way
1. use UTF-8 properties file and directly put plain Unicode characters in
it.
2. during your build, add a post build step to call native2ascii and convert
all the properties files to have Unicode characters escaped.
the post build step should be easy to implement with ANT/Maven, even in
Eclipse it should be possible to customize the project builders to add this
extra step.

So, is it possible to *really* develop internationalized struts web
apps? How can I add chinese or japanese, if the way to
internationalize it isn't capable to use other encoding than ASCII? I
can't understand that.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Cristian.

Aw: [s2] Using UTF-8 in .properties files
Posted by ki...@arcor.de.
If you look in the Java docs, you will see this is not possible. .properties files are always ASCII. The only possibility to include non-ASCII characters is using the Unicode codes \uxxxx. I do hate this.
There might be a way to extend the resource bundle framework to support files using other encodings, but I never found a ready-to-use package and writing it myself was never worthwhile.
