This is something I've been wondering: is it absolutely necessary to convert text files using this tool? I use UTF-8 encoding for the ApplicationResources.properties_?? files, I indicate that UTF-8 is the encoding of my web pages, with the tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> and it works just fine. Is this just coincidence and should I not count on this to work anytime, anywhere? On my website under http://jeroen.kransen.nl:8080/belbin/form/introductie.jsp I'm making a small personality test and use different languages, it's still under construction and only complete in NL and EN so far, but the characters such as Umlauts (or the NL trema's which is basically the same thing) and the Cyrillic alphabet work on all browsers I tried so far..... This way we can just edit the texts of any character set as we do with plain ASCII and don't have to perform the additional step. Generally the tendency seems to be that using different character encodings is becoming more and more transparent. > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: Ralf Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Verzonden: dinsdag 4 mei 2004 10:34 > Aan: Struts Users Mailing List > Onderwerp: Re: Special Characters (german Umlaute) > > Am Montag, 3.
