[Geoserver-devel] GeoServerApplication_de.properties and UTF-8

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

Hi, I have a set of of GeoServerApplication_de.properties files for a German translation for the GeoServer admin GUI.

The files are encoded UTF-8.

I can see the German special characters on linux /windows with any editor or browser, only the geoserver admin GUI displays garbage.

The majority off the property files are ASCII text, some of them are UTF-8, an an example for French

./wms/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication_fr.properties: UTF-8 Unicode English text

Is it possible to use UTF-8 or do I have to recode ?

I would say using UTF encoding for files probably makes most sense. The question is where in the code are the files being read in a way that does not respect the file encoding. My guess would be in the GeoServerResourceStreamLocator class where we read the property file.

Uaaaaaaaaah

The translation property files are loaded in this manner

InputStream in = url.openStream();
properties.load(in);
reader.close();

The load method of the Properties class requires ISO-8859.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)

Special chars have to be escaped with \u.

This is extremly unlucky,making translations will drive you crazy.

Since Java 1.6, you can do the following

InputStream in = url.openStream();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(in);
properties.load(reader);
reader.close();

I tested this sequence, works perfectly, but only for Java 1.6

Another possibility is to use
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/native2ascii.html
This possibility requires to store 2 files, GeoServerApplication.properties and GeoServerApplication.utf8, the second for editing, the first for geoserver.

Opinions ?

The best is to do a svn checkout

svn co https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk localdir

within localdir

cd src/web/

There are 7 files

./wms/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./wcs/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./core/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./security/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./demo/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./wfs/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties
./gwc/src/main/resources/GeoServerApplication.properties

---------

Be aware of the following facts:

The encoding of your files must be iso-8859-1
Special characters of your language must be encoded \uxxxx, where xxxx are hex digits.

The java utility natvie2ascii could be helpful.

The load method of the Properties class requires ISO-8859.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)

Special chars have to be escaped with \u.

This is extremly unlucky,making translations will drive you crazy.

Since Java 1.6, you can do the following

InputStream in = url.openStream();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(in);
properties.load(reader);
reader.close();

I tested this sequence, works perfectly, but only for Java 1.6

Another possibility is to use
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/native2ascii.html
This possibility requires to store 2 files,
GeoServerApplication.properties and GeoServerApplication.utf8, the
second for editing, the first for geoserver.

Opinions ?
Cheers
