Wrong characters show up in Swedish translation.

Issue #118 resolved
Henrik Danielsson created an issue

Something's up with the character encoding, the translation should read "från" or "FRÅN" if capitalized, but instead of the Swedish "å / Å" I get a Norwegian/Danish "æ / Æ". I'm not sure it's actually trying to display Æ, but just falls back to it because the font is missing Å or the encoding info missing.

I'm on Arch Linux with LANG set to "sv_SE.UTF-8", which the game correctly detects. Maybe the translation file got saved with a different encoding or the translation system can't handle it yet? (UTF-8 or sv-latin1 should do fine.)

    Wow nice. Problem is probably that the font doesn't actually contain the character and there is no reasonable fallback set. In this sort of case would it be acceptable to substitute a for å or would that confuse players?

  2. Henrik Danielsson reporter

    It would work as a temporary solution. Removing umlauts etc can drastically change the meaning of words, or make them gibberish, though.

  3. Riot

    This is now resolved correctly by including missing glyphs in the fonts themselves. Some glyphs may have been missed - if so, please reopen issue #54 and add those to the list.
