I have an application that is translated into a few different languages, including French. Of course, the French text includes various accents, etc, in the "Localizable.strings" file.

When the application launches, using the French locale, it logs an error reading the Localizable.strings file, saying that some element is not correct UTF-8. While the application is running, any text that was gleaned from the Localizable.strings file that included accents is only displayed as far as the character before the one with the accent.

Am I doing something wrong? How do I get around this problem? Is there any way to get accents into the Localizable.strings file so that they work?

I had this problem to. In PB go to your French localized string file and control click it and choose Show Info. In the window that pops up, choose UTF-8 for File Encoding.

Thanks... that fixed it!
