are your translated strings.xml using utf-8?

do you define "utf-8" as the encoding as you should in a xml?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Hello together,

Problem: original string.xml in MediaStream was edited and saved in ANSI format.
My solution for "Ü Ä Ö not work":
- open string.xml (located in XBMC\skin\MediaStream\language\German)
- switch to ANSI format (the entire text should now be displayed correctly)
- copy the whole text
- change file format to utf8
- paste the text.
- save the file
have fun.

simpler than that, use notepad++ then convert to utf-8 ;)

convert to utf8 don't work for me blittan :rofl:

correction:
File was already saved in utf8 with wrong caracters, so it can't be converted in utf8 again with correct characters ???.
All characters with öäü were written in ANSI format than switched to utf8 format without convert and saved.
I work with notepad++ too.

Example:
original in utf8:
<string id="31015">ݢerpr�</string>
by switching to ANSI in notepad++:
<string id="31015">Überprüfe</string>
of course you can save the file in ANSI and than convert it to utf8.
But, i have nowhere found how to do that in notepad++.
Change format don't work:;):
For this reason i wrote the simple solution above.
