Encoding of multilanguage file

[import]

What is the encoding of multilanguage file? I wanted to translate JFileUpload to Russian, but I failed

[import]

Translate i18n.properties in russian and then use native2ascii Java tool to convert your file with \u unicode chars. If you don't know how to then send your file to support(at)jfileupload(dot)com and they will run native2ascii for you.

I'm having trouble translating the interface to Russian.

I've converted the UTF-8 file to ASCII:

Code: Select all

taskoutput.usage=\u00d0\u0178\u00d0\u00b5\u00d1\u20ac\u00d0\u00b5\u00d1\u201a\u00d0\u00b0\u00d1\u2030\u00d0\u00b8\u00d1\u201a\u00d0\u00b5 \u00d1\u201e\u00d0\u00b0\u00d0\u00b9\u00d0\u00bb\u00d1\u2039 \u00d1\ufffd \u00d0\u00b2\u00d0\u00b0\u00d1\u02c6\u00d0\u00b5\u00d0\u00b3\u00d0\u00be \u00d0\u00ba\u00d0\u00be\u00d0\u00bc\u00d0\u00bf\u00d1\u0152\u00d1\u017d\u00d1\u201a\u00d0\u00b5\u00d1\u20ac\u00d0\u00b0

but I get:

Code: Select all

Any other language seems to work fine. Please help.

Did you specify the encoding for incoming file on native2ascii.exe command line ?

Thanks for the tip, it worked. I had a UTF-8 encoded file, so the following command worked for me:

Code: Select all

native2ascii.exe -encoding UTF-8 inputfilename.txt outputfilename.txt

.. if anybody else has this problem.

If you use PHP dynamically generated language files, you could use the following function to convert from UTF-8 to Unicode code points on the fly, without using Java's utility:

Code: Select all

function utf8_to_unicode($str) {
	$unicode = array();
	$values = array();
	$lookingFor = 1;
	
	for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++ ) {
		if ($str[$i] == " ") {
			$unicode[] = " ";
		} else {
			$thisValue = ord( $str[ $i ] );
			if ( $thisValue < ord('A') ) {
				// exclude 0-9
				if ($thisValue >= ord('0') && $thisValue <= ord('9')) {
					// number
					$unicode[] = chr($thisValue);
				}
				else {
					$unicode[] = '\\'.dechex($thisValue);
				}
			} else {
				if ($thisValue < 128){
					$unicode[] = $str[ $i ];
				} else {
					if ( count( $values ) == 0 ) $lookingFor = ( $thisValue < 224 ) ? 2 : 3;
					$values[] = $thisValue;
					if ( count( $values ) == $lookingFor ) {
						$number = ( $lookingFor == 3 ) ?
						( ( $values[0] % 16 ) * 4096 ) + ( ( $values[1] % 64 ) * 64 ) + ( $values[2] % 64 ):
						( ( $values[0] % 32 ) * 64 ) + ( $values[1] % 64 );
						$number = dechex($number);
						$unicode[] = (strlen($number)==3)?"\\u0".$number:"\\u".$number;
						$values = array();
						$lookingFor = 1;
					} // if
				} // if
			}
		}
	} // for
	return implode("", $unicode);
}

P.S. It seems to me that would have been more professional if the Java applet would have simply supported UTF-8 characters, than having to use this workaround.

Thanks for the tip.
