Hi,

Regarding property bundles, you must create them in ASCII, or use
Unicode escape codes to represent Unicode characters.
You can represent a Unicode character like \uXXXX, where XXXX is the
hexidecimal representation of the character.

For an example take a look at Russian property files.

we have now converted all the poperties files to xml where you can
directly enter the cyrillic characters.

Otherwise use a plugin in Eclipse to translate the characters to a
displayable format in properties files...

Regards,
Hans

Hi,

The trunk don't use *UiLabels.properties files anymore but *UiLabels.xml files.

Else if you use the release4.0 or and older version you may edit *UiLabels.properties following these advices
http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3889

in this page the link to RBE advices does not exist anymore here it is : 
http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3563#Plugins-Properties(.properties)

If you intend to contribute to OFBiz, it's nice. Else if it's for you own usage, please use rather user ML for such questions :
