Question

I’m using the cake i18n command to extract the content of my __() functions in my application.
However, the default.pot output file is not encoded in UTF-8, and thus does not correctly display accentuated characters which is a problem since the main language is french (lot of ‘é’ , ‘à’ …).

I’m using wamp server on Windows 7.

I’ve tried to change Windows console’s encoding with chcp, to convert default.pot file in UTF-8 with notepad++ or PSpad editor, without success.

Do you know any way to get this default.pot file in UTF-8 ?

All the .php or .ctp files are edited with either Komodo or Geany, both on Windows and configured to use UTF-8.
Also i’m using subversion, if it helps.

Thank you for reading.

I found a way to deal with this thanks to @Msalters. I changed the default encoding of my editor and overwrote wrong characters.
