German special chars

Hi !

I am creating an update installer so i need to change the default translation of the MUI.

i overwrite the default translations this way :
LangString MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT ${LANG_GERMAN} "Test Ã–Ã„Ãœ"
LangString MUI_TEXT_WELCOME_INFO_TEXT ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Test"

I works but the german special char are not rendered correctly.

The whole nsi file is UTF-8, i tried to change the file to an ISO-8859-1 but the problem is still the same, the installer does not show the special chars correctly.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue ?

ShÃ¼p.

you'll need to use plain ansi encoding for your file 🙂

just have a look at ${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Language Files\German.nlf

Hi Comm@nder21,

i re-encoded the file as ISO-8859-1 and it works.
The first time i did it, Eclispe just changed the file encoding but didn't translate the chars ....
After retyping the special chars I obtained the expected result,

thanks a lot.

ShÃ¼p.
