Topic: Wrong character encoding in german translation

For example the german letter "ü" (ü) is encoded as 0xc2b8 - which is wrong.
This page http://www.decodeunicode.org/en/u+00fc/properties states correctly that "ü" is 0xc3bc in UTF-8.

The PO file on transifex.net has the correct encoding!

Re: Wrong character encoding in german translation

So that must be my mistake while converting PO file to MO format.
I don't know how to avoid this converting issue, and the MO file which original translator sent me didn't work correctly sad

Re: Wrong character encoding in german translation

Can you convert PO file locally and test it with your iRedAdmin-Pro? Mail me the MO+PO files after they are working as expected.

Even the PO file in iRedAdmin-1.1.1.tar.bz2 has the wrong encoding.

Downloading the PO file from transfex, applying "msgfmt iredadmin.po -o iredadmin.mo" and moving both files to the appropriate directory solved the issue for me.
