Properties File and Encoding

[augustodelucena]

Hi!

I'm trying to localize the strings to name my Custom Models properties, etc.

I managed to get it to work although I want to encode the strings to UTF-8 as I have strings with special characters.

Is there a way to do that with properties file?

Taking the opportunity, is there a way to make the default value of a list constraint to be a blank value rather than the first value of the list?


Thanks.

You can use the native2ascii utility that comes with Java.

I've written this blog post about the subject http://douglascrp.blogspot.com.br/2014/04/how-to-convert-properties-files-to-utf-8.html
