I’m working on localizing my iPhone app, and my translators are doing an excellent job. The problem is that the accent marks and “non-standard” characters keep on getting ruined by Xcode. I’m not quite sure what the issue is, but it’s just not working correctly. I’ve tried changing the encoding, and some are better than others, but in the end, I’m getting some pretty interesting results.

I’ve tried the default, UTF-8, which my translator said he had sent me. (He also sent me ANSI BOM, but, I’m not sure what that would be equal to in Xcodese.)

wrong character encoding

How would you suggest fixing this? I want my French, Spanish, etc.

    Try to copy the translated text, then open this file with UTF16 – remove everything, and then paste the translated text. That should do the trick.
