Locale Developer's file encoding bug
Hi,
If i understand all correct, there are two main features of locale developer.
1.Copy the definitions from a locale pack to the Locale Developer. The definitions will be put in the copied.php file. :
This means just copying, i use this to create a translation from beginning. Because this button copies the skeleton file to a working folder.
2.Capture the changes between one of your locale packs and the Locale Developer. It will be put in the changes.php file.
I copied skeleton locale. This file can be change with further releases. I will use this file to compare definitions with my translation and if script finds something missing, it will put it into changes.php with my original translation.
If all this correct i have 2 questions.
1. When script puts missing strings or definitions from source to my translation. It encodes my translation with ANSI, at the end i have a changes.php in ANSI so my language's UTF-8 compatible characters goes into some meaningless shapes. Can this change.php file include only missing lines in English.
2. Can i use this change.php file to complete translation then i can rename it to definitions.php and i can put it in locale folder.?
Thanks.

2. You can absolutely use changes.php to complete the translation. That is the intent.
2. That is cool! But related with this post http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13576/how-to-change-forum-language, why i can't manage to translate my forum?
Please make a good how to localize document! I searched a lot but i can't find how to localize forum in several languages. Or i find a lot of pieces and i am trying to collect them in a piece from this morning.
I downloaded Turkish plugin. I uploaded it to my plugins folder nothing happened. Now i created tr-TR etc... and that kind of stuff but i have disappointed about localization.
