1083103 - es-AR country codes in product-details are unicode escaped for javascript

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1018447

(www.mozilla.org :: Product Details, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

Attachment: es-AR_country_list_bug.png

See screenshot, the country list is unicode escaped for js. Since the data in Product-details was imported from toolkit, that is probably because the country name were inserted at a time when our properties files couldn't be in UTF8.

We should unescape country names at json generation  so as to generate country lists that are suitable in a non-JS context (there may be other locales affected, haven't checked).

With this patch (as suggested by Pascal on IRC):

 }

This fixes some of the problems but not all of them.
For example, es-AR json files:
$ svn diff json/regions/es-AR.json

On the overall aspect, I think this might have some side effects on projects using the json files.
