#1211 Wrong JabRef interface encoding with russian interface.

[Viktor Yu. Kovalskii]

After installing JabRef-2.10-b3 and switching language to Russian I see unreadable interface with symbols like this:

Âûïîëíÿåòñÿ îòêðûòèå

$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

You can see that only ru files have CP1251 encoding. I suppose that it is cause of this bug.

[Viktor Yu. Kovalskii]

After this three commands and compile JabRef I can see normal russian symbols:

$ native2ascii -encoding CP1251 IntegrityMessage_ru.properties > 1 && mv 1 IntegrityMessage_ru.properties

$ native2ascii -encoding CP1251 JabRef_ru.properties > 1 && mv 1 JabRef_ru.properties

$ native2ascii -encoding CP1251 Menu_ru.properties > 1 && mv 1 Menu_ru.properties

[Jan Kubovy]

Properties files have to be in ISO-8859-1 encoding. The russian translation is in CP1251. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4659929/how-to-use-utf-8-in-resource-properties-with-resourcebundle

[Jan Kubovy]

EncodingControl subclass added into Globals to support other than ISO-8852-1 encodings in properties bundles and Russian property bundles encoding changed from CP1251 to UTF-8.

Victor, Jan!

Thank you for comments and attentiveness :)

L10n_RU updated
- recently added/changed strings translated;
- encoding issue fixed;
- minor review.

All files for Russian property bundle are now in UTF-8.
I'll upload them to JabRef repo in the next couple of days.

@contributors - Please, DO NOT change _ru property files encoding while adding/updating strings!

Cheers,

Vlad

Hello! I have the same problem - after installing JabRef-2.10-setup and switching language to Russian I see unreadable interface with symbols (see attached screenshot). Other programs do not have such problem.

My OS - Windows 7 Professional (Russian) SP 1.

Please help me to fix this bug.

[Tobias]

The new development version now seems to handle Russian correctly. If now post here again and/or open a new bug report.

[Nazar Vorona]

Yes , the new version works correctly! Thank you so much!
