Encoding issues in translation files

[juancorr]

Dataverse v4.19 has some translation files with characters in iso-8859-1 or utf-8 without the escape way . This characters are not right displayed in Dataverse. These files are:

en_US/astrophysics.properties: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hi @juancorr, do you have any screenshots or more information about where you see these issues in the UI? I've been reviewing our local install of 4.19 in English and French and haven't seen any characters with display issues so far.

Hi @kaitlinnewson, Sorry, I was wrong, files with ISO-8559 (and relative) types are right. There are only two files with entries with encode issues: In the English locale: [image: imagen.png] The encoding issue is in the datasetfieldtype.resolution.Spectral.description entry into the astrophysics.properties . This entry is properly codified in French and Spanish I have found only an entry with codification problems in the French locale, It is in the Bundle_fr.properties but I think that this entry is not used in recent Dataverse versions. [image: imagen.png] The <96> is a not valid character in the dataset.widgets.editAdvanced.tip entry. I have toke this is a screenshot from the vim Linux command. You can check the file type files from the Linux console with the command file * . This is the fr_CA directory: astrophysics_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text biomedical_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text BuiltInRoles_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text Bundle_fr.properties: Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, with very long lines citation_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text, with very long lines geospatial_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text, with very long lines journal_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text MimeTypeDetectionByFileExtension_fr.properties: ASCII text MimeTypeDisplay_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text MimeTypeFacets_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text socialscience_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text, with very long lines ValidationMessages_fr.properties: ISO-8859 text Only the Bundle_fr.properties has encode issues. In the en_US directory, the astrophysics.properties is UTF-8 encoded. I have found not valid characters with the vim Linux command and the search string /[^a-zA-Z0-9\.?!=' \)\(\{\}#éèô\/à<>"_\-,\:;\|ê«»ÉÈÊçÇîâû\[\]+ùÀ^\*&%\$Ûï^I\tÂÁüÎëÅ] Juan Corrales El mar., 5 may. 2020 a las 19:12, Kaitlin Newson (<notifications@github.com>) escribió:

@kaitlinnewson, I have replied from my e-mail and screenshots are not shown. This is the Screenshot from the Bundle_fr.properties file

and this is the screenshot from the Astronomy Spectral Resolution field in English

Hi @juancorr
I replaced the en dash (dataset.widgets.editAdvanced.tip) within the fr_CA/Bundle_fr.properties file (version 4.20) for an explicit Unicode character with /nxxxx notation. (eeb421c). Is that better?

Hi @mhvezina, thank you, it is perfect. Juan El sáb., 9 may. 2020 a las 0:30, Marie-Hélène Vézina (< notifications@github.com>) escribió:

Thanks @juancorr and @mhvezina .
