angular-translate does not display character accent or umlaut correctly
I started using angular-translate. Works great!
But a translated character � is displayed for characters with umlaut or accent or ... (like ü or ú or ñ). These same character values are displayed correctly in HTML text and as AngularJS variables.
Here's a sample output. The output for html text and angular variable display correctly. The results from $translate filter and directive don't display the correct umlaut character.
html text - Und sie untersützt mehrere Sprachen!
angular variable - Und sie untersützt mehrere Sprachen!
$translate filter - Und sie unters�tzt mehrere Sprachen!
$translate directive - Und sie unters�tzt mehrere Sprachen!
Here's the code:
'use strict';
var translations =
{
"TEST_DE": "Und sie untersützt mehrere Sprachen!",
"TEST_ES": "Menú Señor"
};
angular.module('testApp', ['testApp.controllers', 'pascalprecht.translate'])
.config(['$translateProvider', function($translateProvider) {
$translateProvider.translations({
TEST_DE: "Und sie untersützt mehrere Sprachen!",
TEST_ES: "Menú Señor"
});
}]);
angular.module('testApp.controllers', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Here's the HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="testApp">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test angular-translate</title>
</head>
<body ng-controller="testAppController">
<!-- Declare the view/controller router -->
<div ng-view></div>
<!-- angular files -->
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-translate.js"></script>
<script src="ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.4.0.js"></script>
<!-- Application routing file -->
<script src="app.js"></script>
<!-- Application Controller -->
<script src="testAppController.js"></script>
<!-- Test translations -->
<br />
html text - Und sie untersützt mehrere Sprachen!
<br />
angular variable - {{ testPhraseDE }}
<br />
$translate filter - {{ 'TEST_DE' | translate }}
<br />
$translate directive - <a translate="TEST_DE"> </a>
<br />
<br />
html text - Menú Señor
<br />
angular variable - {{ testPhraseES }}
<br />
$translate filter - {{ 'TEST_ES' | translate }}
<br />
$translate directive - <a translate="TEST_ES"> </a>
</body>
</html>
Answer
Quick question but worth asking (as I always do this mistake :) ) are you sure that your JS file is saved and served by your server in an UTF-8 format? Because nothing seems wrong with your code. I even made it work without the � here. Hope it's only that.
