** Observed with M13-rtm build with Japanese Language Pack ** This problem surfaced when volunteers in Japan localized chrome://messenger/lcoale/en-US/vcard.properties file into Japanese using "escaped Unicode" as the encoding as required by Mozilla. When we use the Japanese Language Pack, vCard button labels such as "View Complete Card" and "Add to Personal Address Book" display as total gibberish -- certainly not as Japanese. Please see the attached image for a demo of this problem. I will also attach the "vcard.properties" file in Japanese (in escaped Unicode) which you can place in the directory: chrome://messenger/lcoale/en-US I think you will be able to see the problem with only this Japanese file replacing the original M13-rtm vcard.properties file. The vcard.proeprties file, as any .properties file, is in UCS-2/Unicode. Does that match up with what you expect for vCard in the Message View pane? This problem is not fixable by tinkering with the vcard.properties file. We are probably not handling the data encoding correctly. If you want to try out the entire Japanese Language Pack which runs and displays OK under US Windows with Japanese fonts installed, you can find it at the above URL.

vcard.properties file upload is in .zip format.

I've been messing around with this for a while. The problem I am having is determining what to do with data from the properties file. I need to get this into UTF-8 format, but what charset is is when I pull it from the resources? Any help would be appreciated. - rhp

Ok, I think I may have a fix for this in my tree, but I can only run Win98 right now and I don't have the fonts I need on this OS, so I can't be sure. I'll check first thing in the morning and see what I find on WinNT. - rhp

The data in vcard.properties should be in UCS-2/Unicode, not UTF-8.
Our *.properties files use the Java format, so they use escaped Unicode as defined by Java.

** Checked with 2/1/2000 Win32 M14 build ** Yes, it is better now. I used the Japanese vcard.properties file and viewed msgs which contain vCard attachments. The button labels and all the vCard field names which come from the vcard.properties file now display correctly in Japanese on the buttons and inside the vCard display area, respectively. (Now if only we can view the actual vCard field content in Japanese... but that is another bug.) Marking the fix verified.
