If both charset and defaultCharset are empty, CAL10N must use UTF-8, not the default encoding for your Java platform to read resource bundles --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CAL-27 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/CAL-27 Project: CAL10N Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Andrew Fink Assignee: Ceki Gulcu Please use UTF-8 as default encoding if user hasn't entered charset and defaultCharset explicitly. Latin/ASCII users won't see difference, but users with languages with national characters will feel relief. For many languages "platform default encoding" is ugly buggy _nothing_ / _random_ (for russian for example)! For russian, platform default encoding can have several possible values including UTF-8! You can add defaultCharset="" - for backward compatible random platform default encoding -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
