294606 - Afrikaans Installer's exit setup dialog using wrong charset

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[David Fraser]

In the Afrikaans installer for Firefox 1.0.4, clicking Cancel leads to the Exit
Setup dialog, but the encoding used for the message is incorrect.

The relevant section from the
toolkit/locale/af-ZA/installer/windows/install.properties is below:

DLGQUITTITLE=Sluit Opstellingsprogram af
DLGQUITMSG=U het nie $ProductName$ klaar ge\u00EFnstalleer nie. As u nou die
Opstellingsprogram afsluit, sal $ProductName$ nie ge\u00EFnstalleer word nie. Is
u seker u wil die Opstellingsprogram kanselleer?

The \u00EF is meant to be a "LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS" but instead
appears as a sequence of A with a Tilde (\u00C3) and a macron (\u00AF) that
seems to imply that it has been encoded in UTF-8 but displayed as iso-8859-1

I'll attach a screenshot

Comment 2

[David Fraser]

This is a configuration error, the codepage is set to ANSI_CHARSET (CP1252) but
the messages are in UTF-8. I'll use this bug to track fixing it, so accepting
this...

charsets are no longer, resolving WORKSFORME.
