I'm translating a web page from English to Spanish using gettext, but I'm having problems with UTF-8.
The problem: All my web pages translated with gettext declare themselves as UTF-8 encoding but it is actually iso-8859-1 (latin-1). I reach that conclusion using Firefox to enforce the encoding the page is viewed in. Firefox detects page encoding as UTF-8 but displays boxes instead of regular characters. If I force Firefox to use iso-8859-1 the characters are displayed correctly. Text from web pages wich have not been translated with gettext is displayed correctly with UTF-8 encoding, so I'm sure it's a gettext problem. Te question: Why msgfmt generates de .mo file in iso-8859-1 and not in UTF-8? How can I solve it? If it helps: -All my source files (*.php) are in UTF-8. -APACHE is set to use UTF-8 by default UTF-8 (AddDefaultCharset UTF-8) -My .po file is in UTF-8: # file locale/es_ES/messages.po locale/es_ES/messages.po: UTF-8 Unicode PO (gettext message catalogue) text -I've set charset to UTF-8 in the .po header: # grep charset locale/es_ES/messages.po "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" And the commands I've used to generate the .pot,.po and .mo files are: # mkdir -p locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/ # xgettext --indent --no-wrap --sort-by-file --from-code=UTF-8 --output locale/messages.pot *.php # cp locale/messages.pot locale/es_ES/messages.po # msgfmt --verbose --output-file locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo locale/es_ES/messages.po T.I.A -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
